What should menopausal patients with functional uterine bleeding pay attention to during sex?

Functional uterine bleeding harms the patient's physical and mental health and also brings difficulties to sexual life. Patients should pay attention to the following matters during their sexual life:

1. Husband and wife should trust each other and communicate with each other frequently. Patients should learn some relevant knowledge. Menopausal patients with functional uterine bleeding undergo great psychological and physiological changes during intercourse. Some systems and reproductive organs undergo degenerative changes as ovarian function declines and estrogen decreases. The vaginal mucosa becomes thinner, less elastic, and gradually atrophies due to lack of estrogen maintenance.

2. Due to the decrease of estrogen, the glycogen in the vaginal epithelium decreases, the acidity of the vagina decreases, and the resistance is poor, making the vagina more susceptible to infection and vaginitis. Menopausal women cannot feel the same pleasure as when they were young during sexual intercourse, and sexual intercourse during menstruation is even more disgusting to women. The cervix is ​​open, and the uterine cavity is connected to the vagina. The bacteria parasitic in the vagina can ascend to the uterine cavity. The blood clots in the uterine cavity are a good breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, sexual intercourse at this time can easily cause pelvic infection, leading to endometritis, myometritis, and even pelvic inflammatory disease, causing physical and psychological pain to women.

3. Reasonably arrange sexual intercourse between men and women. You can have sex 2-3 days before menstruation, wash the vulva frequently, keep the perineum clean, and actively treat menopausal functional uterine bleeding.
