Can I have sex the day before my period?

Although most women know that they cannot have sex during menstruation, some women think that the day before menstruation is the safest time to have sex, as the egg will not be released at this time and pregnancy will not occur. However, some women think that having sex the day before menstruation is not good. So, is it possible to have sex the day before menstruation?

The day before menstruation is indeed a safe period of menstruation. The egg will not be discharged and pregnancy is not possible during sexual intercourse. However, at this time, because the cervix is ​​about to open, the menstruation in the uterine cavity can be discharged smoothly during the menarche. During sexual intercourse, foreign pathogens are likely to be introduced into the female vagina. In addition, the immune ability of women during menstruation will be reduced, and pathogens will have the opportunity to multiply. After the cervix opens, they may reverse into the uterine cavity and cause infection.

Moreover, the vaginal mucosa of women is already very sensitive the day before menstruation. If the man rubs violently and roughly during intercourse, it may cause damage to the vagina. Therefore, it is not recommended to have intercourse the day before menstruation. If women really want to have intercourse, not only must both parties clean their genitals before intercourse, but men must also use condoms during intercourse and be gentle. They must also clean up immediately after intercourse to reduce the risk of bacterial invasion.

In fact, it is not just before menstruation that sexual intercourse is not recommended. It is also not recommended to have sexual intercourse within three days after the menstruation. Because the cervix may not be completely closed at this time, sexual intercourse at this time may also bring bacteria into the uterus. In addition, during sexual intercourse, the uterus may contract due to sexual impulse, which may cause the residual blood in the uterine cavity to be discharged again, resulting in delayed menstruation.
