Use contraception. When you're on your period, you're at higher risk for STDs and pelvic infections. What's more, you're less likely to get pregnant, sure, but it's not impossible. So if you thought this was your ticket to ride, sorry -- you still gotta stay safe.
For example, chlamydia can cause urinary tract infections, and its symptoms may be difficult to distinguish from other types of UTIs. Because the risk of UTIs increases in people who are sexually active, patients may not recognize the early signs of an STD or may mistake it for a urinary tract infection.
