Dr. Magtibay:
She does have a reduced risk of developing endometriosis, interestingly, and just like she has a reduction on the risk of ovarian cancer. And we don’t necessarily know why that happens, but they do have a reduced risk of developing the disease.
To our knowledge there’s no problem with having intercourse during menstruation and it does not increase the risk of developing endometriosis.
