Can I have sex on the day my period ends?

When women are menstruating, their bodies are in a relatively weak stage, so they cannot do many strenuous exercises. In addition, in order to avoid bacterial infection, women cannot have sex when their menstruation is not over. Some women have sex on the day their menstruation ends, thinking that since their menstruation has ended, there will be no problems such as infection. So, can you have sex on the day your period ends?

1. Can I have sex on the day my period ends?

On the day when menstruation just ends, the endometrium is just in the early stage of proliferative phase and is relatively weak. If you have sexual intercourse, vaginal bleeding may occur.

2. How many days after the menstrual period can you have sex?

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 menstruation, women's body resistance 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. 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.

3. Harms of having sex during menstruation

1. Induce various gynecological inflammations. During menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated and bleeds, and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, weakening the natural barrier function. In addition, the female body's resistance is weak at this time. If you have sex, bacteria will be brought into the reproductive tract, causing infection and inducing various gynecological inflammations, such as endometritis, salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

2. Induce endometriosis. Having sex during menstruation can cause uterine contractions due to sexual impulses, which can squeeze endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis.

3. Induce immune infertility. When having sex during menstruation, some sperm, semen, etc. may enter the female's blood circulation system through the rupture of small blood vessels, stimulate the immune system to form sperm antibodies, and thus cause immune infertility.
