How long after menstruation can I have sex

Many people get bacterial infections because of having sex during menstruation, so women have become cautious and do not want to be infected with bacteria during menstruation, which may lead to some serious gynecological diseases. Gynecological diseases are easy to infect, but the treatment is very troublesome, and may even affect future fertility and physical health due to bad position. Don't rush to have sex after the menstruation is over, and wait for your body to recover for a while.

How many days after menstruation is over can I 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. The amount of blood is not much on the first day, but is heaviest on the 2nd or 3rd day, and then gradually decreases.

How many days after the menstruation ends can you have sex? Most couples can stop having sex during the menstruation period. 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.

Therefore, 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, 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.
