What are the harms and effects of sexual activity during menstruation?

Patient's question:

The menstrual period started yesterday this month. This morning, without any protection, we had sexual intercourse. Please ask, what kind of results and harmful effects will occur during menstrual intercourse? Thank you very much!

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Generally, sexual activity during menstruation can have certain effects on both men and women, making it easy to cause related diseases due to bacterial infections. Menstrual sex can also trigger the production of antisperm antibodies, leading to immunological infertility. If sexual activity occurs during menstruation, if the male's reproductive organs are not clean, or if the female's external genitalia are not clean, pathogens may be introduced, potentially causing acute or chronic reproductive organ, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis symptoms. Men are also prone to urinary tract infections. During sexual intercourse, both partners are under the control of the higher sexual nervous center, involving intense excitatory activities primarily in the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system, mobilizing the energy of the entire body. A good physical condition is necessary as a foundation for the response. Sexual activity during menstruation undoubtedly increases the burden on a woman's body, reflects a lack of responsibility from both partners towards themselves and each other, and will also affect the harmonious progression of future sexual life.
