In a recent episode of Pinoy MD, Doc Krizzle shed light on some menstrual period myths, and also shared some interesting facts that could come as a surprise to many.
First off, Doc Krizzle settled the debate on whether or not women get pregnant more easily when they're on their period.
“Okay. Linawin natin 'to. Sa katunayan, kung regular naman 'yung period mo at hindi masyadong maikli, mababa lang po 'yung tsansa. Napakaliit lang ng tsansa,” she stated.
She then discussed the likelihood of getting pregnant if a woman has irregular menstruation and gets intimate with her partner during her period.
“Ang problema kasi kung irregular ang iyong period at maikli lang 'yung period days mo--'yung duration ng period mo mismo--may tsansa. Lalo na kasi 'yung sperm ng kalalakihan kapag na-ejaculate ito, puwede itong mabuhay ng up to three to five days. Kaya may posibilidad pa rin na mag-abot 'yung itlog doon sa sperm,” she explained.
Meanwhile, one of the interesting period facts that Doc Krizzle shared is that getting intimate during one's period actually has benefits.
“May pag-aaral na meron pa nga itong benefits kagaya ng nakakatulong 'yung sex during period kapag ikaw ay may menstrual cramps. Nakakatulong siya headache. Napapaikli nito ang duration ng period mo, at it is a form of lubrication na rin,” she revealed.
