It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse during mid-cycle bleeding in women. Mid-cycle bleeding is a normal physiological phenomenon and usually stops after ovulation ends. However, sexual intercourse during this period should be avoided, as it may lead to ascending bacterial infections, potentially causing gynecological conditions such as endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease, which are harmful to women's health.
