How many days after the menstrual period ends can I have sex? Will I get pregnant?

Women should not have sex during menstruation, and most people know and can do it. So, how long after menstruation can you have sex? Will having sex too early affect your body? Will it cause pregnancy? Gynecological experts point out that having sex right after menstruation is harmful to women's reproductive health. Many women experience prolonged menstruation and brown menstrual color. These abnormal phenomena are closely related to having sex right after menstruation stops.

When is the best time to have sex after menstruation ends?

When a woman's menstruation just stops, there are still broken blood vessels and glandular ducts on the surface of the uterine cavity, and the tiny blood vessels will bleed. The new endometrium has just begun to grow, and the surface is not yet covered by epithelium. At this time, the wound in the uterine cavity is like the skin that has been scratched. Although it has stopped bleeding, it has not yet been completely regenerated and repaired.

Therefore, if you have sex hastily right after your period stops, it may cause congestion in the uterine cavity, causing bleeding in the uterine cavity lining again and causing vaginal bleeding. Or having sex during menstruation may aggravate pelvic blood congestion, leading to prolonged menstruation, increased menstruation, dysmenorrhea and other gynecological sequelae. In addition, during sexual intercourse, bacteria attached to the male penis, urethra, and female vaginal opening may enter the female reproductive tract, causing infection of the reproductive organs and damage to the endometrium that has not yet recovered. Therefore, you should resume normal sexual intercourse 2-3 days after your period ends, which is more conducive to women's reproductive health.

Can I get pregnant right after my period?

Generally, the chance of pregnancy is not very high in the first few days after menstruation, before the ovulation period, but there are still unexpected situations. If men and women do not want to get pregnant, it is recommended to take contraceptive measures. The possibility of pregnancy cannot be ruled out just after menstruation because:

1. Some women have short menstrual cycles or irregular menstruation, so they ovulate early, or even when their menstruation is about to end. Since women's eggs have the ability to be fertilized within 24 to 48 hours, if the male sperm happens to enter the uterus and then the fallopian tube, pregnancy is possible.

2. Since male sperm can survive in the female body for three to four days, if male sperm enters the fallopian tube, pregnancy is possible. During menstruation, the female cervix is ​​in a relaxed state, and with the discharge of menstrual blood, a passage between the uterine cavity and the outside world is established. At this time, sexual intercourse is likely to allow bacteria to enter the uterine cavity.
