Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Huiying
You should not have sexual intercourse when experiencing bleeding while taking Yaz. Yaz is a hormonal contraceptive, and improper use may cause withdrawal bleeding. During this period, sexual intercourse should be avoided to prevent the onset of gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Severe cases of these inflammatory conditions can lead to pelvic adhesions, affecting a woman's normal fertility. Therefore, to be safe, it is important to avoid sexual intercourse while taking this medication.
