Patients with functional uterine bleeding cannot have sexual intercourse, because functional uterine bleeding is actually the same as women being unable to have sexual intercourse during menstruation. Both functional uterine bleeding and menstruation are intrauterine bleeding, and functional uterine bleeding can be said to be an abnormal manifestation of menstruation. Therefore, if you understand this, you will also be able to understand why you cannot have sex during functional uterine bleeding. Under normal circumstances, you can have sex after one month.

2. Causes of uterine bleeding

Medicines: Many women often miss one or two pills when taking oral contraceptives or even stop taking the pills without authorization, which can cause the endometrium to peel off and cause bleeding. This can also happen if you stop taking hormones to regulate menstruation or treat bleeding without authorization.

Intramyometrial fibroids can cause menorrhagia and prolonged bleeding due to enlarged deformation of the uterine cavity and increased endometrial area; fibroids can hinder uterine contraction or affect blood circulation, causing chronic pelvic congestion and continuous uterine bleeding.

Uterine fibroids combined with anovulatory endometrial hyperplasia or polyp formation can lead to menorrhagia, and combined with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can cause congestion and increased menstruation.

Benign tumors: uterine fibroids, especially fibroids with lumps protruding in the uterine cavity, and endometrial polyps, because these lumps are either rich in blood vessels on the surface, or the endometrium covering them has thick blood vessels, and these blood vessels are generated cyclically, so they are prone to bleeding. It is especially difficult to stop bleeding under the continuous stimulation of estrogen.

3. What are the symptoms of uterine bleeding?

Ovulation bleeding Due to the low estrogen level before ovulation, a small amount of vaginal bleeding can be seen during the ovulation period.

Premenstrual bleeding is a small amount of vaginal bleeding a few days before menstruation, followed by normal menstruation. This type of bleeding is caused by luteal insufficiency and insufficient secretion of estrogen and progesterone. How long after uterine bleeding can I have sex?

Postmenstrual bleeding is normal at the beginning of menstruation, but in the later stage, the bleeding is small and lasts for a long time. This type of bleeding is characterized by incomplete endometrial exfoliation and a mixture of incompletely exfoliated secretory endometrium and early proliferative endometrium. This is mainly due to the slow regression of the corpus luteum and the continuous secretion of progesterone.

Bleeding caused by endometrial hyperplasia is a typical anovulatory bleeding. Due to the continued existence of follicles and the secretion of a certain amount of estrogen, the endometrium proliferates abnormally, and the endometrium often shows glandular cystic hyperplasia.

Bleeding due to incomplete endometrial maturation is an abnormal bleeding that often occurs during the luteal phase. Endometrial proliferative and luteal phase changes may exist simultaneously. It is caused by an imbalance in the secretion of estrogen and progesterone.
