Menstrual excitement generally does not cause endometriosis. However, if a patient engages in sexual activity during menstruation, it may lead to dysmenorrhea, increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual periods, and even vaginal infections or urethritis. This can cause significant inconvenience in daily life. It is recommended that patients maintain good personal hygiene and keep the abdomen warm during menstruation to avoid abdominal chilling.
