How long after menstruation is over can I have sex
Everyone knows that you cannot have sex during your menstrual period. But many women want to know, if you can’t have sex during menstruation, can you have sex after your menstruation is over? In fact, experts recommend that everyone, especially women, wait 3 days after the end of menstruation before having sex to avoid having sex immediately after menstruation which may affect the endometrium. And this is also more beneficial to women's reproductive health.

Menstruation is a very unique physiological phenomenon in the female body. When menstruation comes, the endometrium falls off, and there will be many wounds and bleeding in the female uterine cavity. The blood flows out of the vagina through the uterine cavity. This is what is clinically called "menstrual blood". So how many days after menstruation can you have sex?

Experts say that it is generally best to have sex 2 or 3 days after the menstruation stops, because there are still some broken blood vessels and glandular ducts on the surface of the uterine cavity after the menstrual bleeding stops, and some tiny blood vessels may have some bleeding. The new endometrium has just begun to grow, and the surface of the uterine cavity is not yet covered by the epithelium. At this time, the wound in the uterine cavity is like skin with epidermal abrasions. Although it will no longer bleed, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired.

Most couples are able to abstain from sex during menstruation. However, people often do not pay much attention to the time to resume sexual life after menstruation. Many people take it for granted that they can resume sexual life after menstrual bleeding stops. Little do people know that such practice is detrimental to women's reproductive health.

If you have sex hastily right after your period stops, it may cause congestion in the uterine cavity, causing the endometrium to bleed again and vaginal bleeding to occur. Or having sex during menstruation may aggravate pelvic blood accumulation, leading to prolonged menstruation, increased menstruation, dysmenorrhea and other gynecological sequelae. In addition, during sexual intercourse, bacteria attached to the male penis, urethra, and female vaginal opening can enter the female reproductive tract, causing reproductive organ infection and damage to the endometrium that has not yet recovered.

Therefore, each time you have your menstrual period, you should wait 2-3 days after the menstrual period ends before resuming normal sexual life. This is more beneficial to women's reproductive health.
