How long after the menstrual period can I have sex?

Normal couples basically have sex every week, but women should not have sex during their menstrual period because the vagina is very fragile during the menstrual period and it is easy to suffer physical sequelae if you are not careful. Moreover, if you have sex during this period, the sexual experience will not be very good for both parties. But after a woman's menstrual period ends, how long can she have sex?

How many days after menstruation can you have sex? Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon unique to women. When menstruation comes, the endometrium falls off and a large amount of bleeding occurs in the uterine cavity. The blood flows out of the vagina through the uterine cavity. This is what people often call "menstrual blood." After that, new endometrium will quickly grow at the wound. After the wound heals, vaginal bleeding will naturally stop and menstruation will stop. Generally speaking, each menstrual period for women lasts about 3-5 days. There is not much blood on the first day, the heaviest blood on the 2nd-3rd day, and then it gradually decreases.

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. When a woman's menstruation just stops, there are still broken blood vessels and glandular ducts on the surface of her uterine cavity, and the tiny blood vessels are still bleeding. The new endometrium has just begun to grow, and the surface is not yet covered with epithelium. At this time, the wound in the uterine cavity is like the skin with epidermal abrasions. Although it has stopped bleeding, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired.

How many days after menstruation can you have sex? If you have sex hastily right after your menstruation 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, you and your spouse should learn from this lesson and be rational and restrain your momentary impulses. After each menstruation, you should resume normal sexual life 2-3 days after the menstruation ends. This is more beneficial to women's reproductive health.
