Can Sex During Periods Cause Any Infection?
i'm really worried me and my husband had intercourse whilst on my period, and worried that this may cause me or my husband any damage to us, or catch anything, we are both clean of everything, and have been reading up about it, but still have that doubt, could you reassure me we both will be fine, this defo won't be happening again. thanks

Hi Dear,
intercourse during menstruation is completely normal and not having any infection but intercourse during menses can be performed with both's will and happiness and also with clean genitalia. there is not to worry regarding infection.
but still if you have any doubt consult gynecologist.
have you experienced any infection symptoms like fever, discharge, pain etc...?
