Can I have sex on the fourth day of my period?

Everyone knows that sexual intercourse during menstruation is prone to infection. Wearing a condom will be relatively hygienic, but some young couples are impatient and have sex a few days before their menstrual period ends. I feel uncomfortable again afterwards, so is it possible to have sex on the fourth day of menstruation?

You cannot have sex on the 4th day of menstruation. Even if some women encounter that their menstruation is about to end, as long as there is a small amount of brown discharge, they cannot have sex until it is completely clean. Because during intercourse, menstruation will reach the pelvis through the fallopian tubes and flow back into the pelvis, which may cause bacterial infection, pelvic mass, and even cysts, which will affect your health. During intercourse, it can also cause damage to the endometrium, resulting in continuous menstrual bleeding and even abdominal pain. You must wait 2-3 days after your menstrual period is completely over before you can have sex, to avoid the possibility of abnormal bleeding if you have sex right after your menstrual period. You must pay attention to the hygiene of your private parts, wash your vulva every day, wear loose underwear, and change your sanitary napkins every 4 hours as much as possible to prevent menstruation from contaminating your private parts and causing trichomoniasis.

Even if you have sex with a condom during menstruation, there will be certain harm. When a woman is sexually aroused, uterine contractions may cause menstrual blood to flow back into the pelvis, causing implantation of the uterine wall and endometriosis. Endometriosis may affect pregnancy. Sexual intercourse during menstruation is a serious threat to women's physical and mental health and a key cause of infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse during menstruation needs to be avoided.

Common problems with sexual life during menstruation

In any case, it is not recommended to have sex during the menstrual period. So what if you can’t control yourself? Then you need to pay more attention to:

1. Pick your opportunity

During menstruation, sexual intercourse should be avoided as much as possible during the first few days of menstrual bleeding. Otherwise, during the lovemaking process, it would be extremely disappointing if there was a burst of blood every now and then.

2. Men should pay attention to hygiene

Beforehand, men should clean their sexual organs to prevent the introduction of germs.

3. Condoms are a must

How to save after sex during menstruation

1. Clean up afterwards

During menstruation, women's private parts are very likely to be introduced to bacteria by men. If they are not cleaned in time, they are very likely to be infected and cause a series of gynecological diseases. Therefore, the vulva should be cleaned with warm water immediately after sexual intercourse to prevent bacterial infection.

2. Take antiviral medicine

In order to prevent infection after having sex during menstruation, it is best to take some antiviral drugs when necessary, such as amoxicillin capsules, anti-gynecitis capsules, metronidazole, etc. It is best to take them under the guidance of a doctor, and don't take them casually.

3. Medical examination

If there is no discomfort after the menstrual period, no treatment is required. If there is discomfort, you can consider doing a B-ultrasound to check the condition of the uterine cavity, find out the cause of the disease, and treat it with medication.
