How long after the first bleeding can I have sex?

During menstruation, women's bodies are at their most vulnerable. Having sex during this period can lead to prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea and other gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best not to have sex during menstruation. It is best to have sexual activity 2-3 days after the menstruation is over. This is good for both husband and wife. If you must have sex during menstruation, you must prepare in advance.

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, 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.

1. Changes in the pH level of the female vagina, coupled with the nutrients in menstrual blood, make it easy for microorganisms to multiply.

2. Changes in the viscosity of cervical mucus during menstruation make it easier for microorganisms to enter the uterus.

3. During menstruation, the endometrium is wounded and prone to infection.

4. Excitement during sex causes the uterus to contract, which may increase bleeding or cause pain

From a physiological point of view, women's body resistance will decrease during menstruation, bacteria can easily invade, and may cause symptoms such as endometritis and metriosis, so doctors generally recommend not to have sexual intercourse. However, things are not completely so absolute. Appropriate sex life is still possible, but you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Try not to choose the first two days of your period when you have heavy bleeding.

2. Beforehand, the man should clean his genitals.

3. During sexual intercourse, men should use condoms, be gentle, and keep the duration as short as possible.

4. Afterwards, the woman should immediately rinse her vagina with clean water.

On the positive side, regular sex helps stabilize the menstrual cycle. If you have sex at least once a week for more than three months, your menstrual cycle will be more stable than others.
