Can I have sex after my period has lasted for five days?

In life, most women will refuse their husbands' requests for sex during menstruation, and most men will understand. However, some men think that women are being pretentious and that there is nothing wrong with having sex during menstruation. This is incorrect. Some women say that their period has been five days already, and although it has not completely ended, it should be okay, and there should be no problem with sexual life. This is also incorrect. It is best for women not to have sex until their period has completely ended.

What will happen if a woman has sex during her menstrual period?

1. Blood-soaked sheets

Yes, the most direct consequence of having sex during menstruation is "blood-soaked sheets". If you have sex on the second day of your menstrual period, and your female partner happens to be the type who "bleeds like a river", it is recommended that you do not have sex, as the scene may be really scary.

2. Increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual period

Having sex during menstruation can easily cause congestion in the female genitals, which may lead to increased menstrual flow and longer menstrual periods.

3. Unexpected pregnancy

Many people believe that menstruation is an absolutely safe period, so they do not take any contraceptive measures when having sex. However, some people have a very short menstrual cycle and will ovulate a few days after the end of their period. Sperm can survive in the fallopian tube for 3 days, so it is possible that sperm released during menstruation can survive until the woman ovulates. Therefore, it is possible to get pregnant accidentally during menstruation, although this situation is rare.

4. Gynecological inflammation

During intercourse, the male reproductive organ may bring bacteria into the vagina, and menstrual blood is very suitable for bacterial growth. Therefore, the bacteria can easily spread along the tiny wounds in the endometrium, infect the endometrium, and may even infect the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity, thereby causing endometritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease and other diseases. In severe cases, it can even lead to infertility.

5. Immune infertility

When having sex during menstruation, there is a possibility that sperm will enter the female blood through the damaged uterine wall, which may induce the female to produce sperm antibodies and lead to immune infertility.

6. Male urethritis

During sexual intercourse, if female menstrual secretions enter the male urethra, it may cause male urethritis. Of course, wearing a condom during sex can prevent this from happening.

To sum up, although having sex during menstruation is not an absolute taboo, for the health of both parties, it is recommended not to have sex during menstruation.

How many days after the menstrual period is suitable for having sex?

If you cannot have sex during menstruation, then how many days after the menstruation is appropriate to have sex? Many people think that they can resume sexual life once menstrual bleeding stops, but in fact this practice is still harmful to health. Because when menstruation just stops, there are still tiny wounds on the surface of the endometrium, and the new endometrium has not yet grown. At this time, having sex is just like having sex during menstruation and is still prone to causing reproductive system infection. Therefore, it is recommended that women resume sexual life 2-3 days after the end of menstruation.
