There is blood streak during intercourse just after menstruation

You definitely cannot have sex during your menstrual period, but it is okay to have sex after your menstrual period. However, many people find blood when having sex after their period. Normally, this should not happen. The key is to see whether this happens occasionally or frequently, which is an important basis for determining the cause. So, what should you do if there is blood during sex right after your period? Let’s take a look below.

What to do if there is bleeding during sex right after menstruation

If you have sex right after your period, it means that your period has just ended and the endometrium has just been repaired, so the bleeding is caused by sexual intercourse. Generally, don't worry if the amount of bleeding is not large. However, if you bleed every time you have sex, you should consider that it is caused by cervical erosion. Specific examination is recommended to confirm it.

It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse right after the menstrual period, otherwise it may cause bleeding. This is because when a woman's menstruation just ends, there are still some broken blood vessels and glandular ducts on the surface of her uterine cavity, the tiny blood vessels are still bleeding, and the new endometrium is just beginning to grow, indicating that there is no epithelial coverage yet. Although the wound has stopped bleeding at this time, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired. If a couple engages in sexual intercourse at this time, the stimulation of the mechanical system will damage the wound surface that has not yet been fully regenerated and repaired, thus causing bleeding.

In addition, during the menstrual period, the body's resistance of women decreases. Even if the menstrual period has just ended, the body's resistance has not fully recovered. If you have sex at this time, bacteria will be brought into the reproductive tract, causing infection and inducing various gynecological inflammations, such as endometritis, salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.; and some menstrual secretions may also enter the male urethra, which may cause urethritis.

Therefore, women should wait 2 to 3 days after their menstrual period ends before having sex. This is more beneficial to women's reproductive health and reduces the chance of their partners getting sick.

Can I get pregnant if I have sex right after my period?

Some women can't wait to have sex with their partners right after their menstruation ends, and do not take any contraceptive measures, but after having sex, they are afraid that they will get pregnant. So, can you get pregnant if you have sex right after your period? Let me explain below.

Generally speaking, if you have sex 3 days after your period ends and 3 days before your period starts, you will not get pregnant even if you don't take any contraceptive measures. Because these days are not the ovulation period, the uterus does not have the conditions for implantation; plus, if you have sex right after your menstrual period, some sperm, semen, etc. may enter the female's blood circulation system through the uterine cavity wound that has not yet been completely regenerated and repaired, stimulating the immune system to form sperm antibodies, thereby causing immune infertility. Therefore, the chance of pregnancy is lower if you have sex right after your period. If you are really worried, you can also go to the hospital for a blood HCG test 10 days after having sex, so that you can confirm whether you are pregnant.

It is worth noting that when a woman's menstruation just ends, there are still some broken blood vessels and glandular ducts on the surface of her uterine cavity, and the tiny blood vessels will still bleed. The new endometrium has just begun to grow, indicating that there is no epithelial coverage yet. Although the wound has stopped bleeding at this time, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired. If a couple engages in sexual intercourse at this time, the stimulation of the mechanical system will damage the wound surface that has not yet been fully regenerated and repaired, thus causing bleeding. Therefore, women should wait 2 to 3 days after their menstruation ends before having sex, which is more beneficial to their reproductive health.
