Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
During menstruation, sexual intercourse is not allowed, for three reasons: 1. During menstruation, the cervix is open. If sexual intercourse occurs during this time, it may lead to increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods. 2. It may cause future kidney deficiency and lower back pain during rainy days. The Shishi Mi Lu states: "When kidney water (includingGui water) is deficient, the uterus becomes dry and barren, just as a seedling lacks rain and dew, leading to withering." 3. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause sperm to enter the bloodstream, which may result in infertility in women.
