How many days after the menstrual period can I have sex?

As we all know, sexual intercourse is generally not allowed during menstruation because the female uterus is very fragile during menstruation and sexual intercourse may cause bacterial infection and other problems that affect the uterus. So you can have sex after your period is over, right? You can have sex, but you still need to be careful. You can't have sex as soon as your period is over. You still have to wait a few days. So how many days after your period is over can you have sex?

The endometrium just after the menstrual period is already unable to take care of itself and has lost its good defense capabilities. During sexual intercourse at this time, the male reproductive organs will bring in bacteria, infect the endometrium and cause pelvic inflammation, causing pain to the woman. Some women will experience recurrence a few days after their period ends. In this case, you should be extra careful and avoid having sex.

Under normal circumstances, the endometrium flows out with the menstrual blood during the menstrual period. If you have sex right after the menstrual period, when the woman's excitement reaches its peak, the uterus will contract. At this time, the endometrial fragments that have fallen off the uterine cavity can enter the fallopian tubes with the pressure of the uterine contraction, and then enter the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity along the fallopian tubes. No matter where they fall, they will grow on the spot, causing endometriosis. This disease can cause adhesions between the fallopian tubes, uterus, and pelvic cavity, and can also cause hypertrophy of the ovarian surface and blood retention, which can not only destroy the normal development and growth of eggs, but also affect ovulation.

Therefore, from a safety perspective, it is best to have sex one week after your menstrual period. If you do not plan to get pregnant, you can avoid having sex during the dangerous period.

1. Gynecological infection: Menstruation has just ended, the uterus and endometrium have not yet repaired, and the shed endometrium is stimulated by sexual intercourse and causes bleeding. At the same time, the protective acidic secretions in the female vagina are diluted by menstrual blood, and the resistance is weakened, so sexual intercourse at this time can easily induce infection.

3. Infertility or ectopic pregnancy: The negative pressure created during sexual intercourse causes a large number of pathogens to be "sucked" into the fallopian tubes. Pathogenic bacteria multiply in the fallopian tubes and even spread outside the uterus, entering the pelvic cavity and causing pelvic inflammatory disease. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes can easily cause adhesions, and in severe cases the lumen of the tubes may be blocked, making it difficult to conceive if sperm cannot pass through.
