Is it okay to have sex on the first day after menstruation?

Many women think that they can start having sex after their menstrual period ends. In fact, this is harmful to women’s health. Many women are not aware of this. In fact, menstruation is a special period for women. After the menstruation is over, it is the stage for women's bodies to recuperate and repair wounds. What harm will premature sexual life bring to women? Let me tell you about it below.

Can I have sex right after my period?

Many women think that they can resume sexual life after menstrual bleeding stops. In fact, this 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 there is bleeding in the tiny blood vessels. The endometrium has just begun to grow and there is no epithelial covering on the surface.

At this time, the wound in the uterine cavity is like the scratched skin on the body surface. Although it has stopped bleeding, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired. This is why the menstruation seems to be over, but is actually not over yet. If you have sexual intercourse hastily at this time, the uterine cavity will become congested, which may cause the uterine cavity to bleed again and cause blood to flow out of the vagina.

Secondly, the cervix is ​​not completely closed just after the menstruation ends. The blood sinuses have just healed and the body's resistance is poor. Sexual intercourse at this time is prone to gynecological problems.

Can I get pregnant right after my period?

Generally, a woman will produce a mature egg once a month. The egg can survive for 1-2 days, while the sperm can survive for 2-3 days after entering the female body. According to common sense, for women with regular menstruation, ovulation occurs 12-16 days before the next menstruation. The safe period is right after the menstruation, so the chance of getting pregnant right after the menstruation is very small.

However, if a woman's menstrual cycle is irregular, the duration of the menstrual period is short, and the menstrual cycle is also short, and the ovulation period happens to be a few days after the menstruation, since the egg and sperm can survive in the body for a few days, it is easy to conceive after having sex after the menstruation.

Generally speaking, the safe period for women is 7 days before menstruation and 8 days after menstruation. However, safe period contraception is not that reliable. There are many factors that affect the discharge of eggs. Physiological and emotional factors can cause the eggs to be discharged earlier or later. Therefore, it is very dangerous to rely on the safe period for contraception. It is also easy to get pregnant if you have sex without taking any contraceptive measures right after your period.

Therefore, whether you can get pregnant right after your period depends entirely on the duration of your menstrual period, the length of your menstrual cycle, and the time of ovulation. Generally speaking, a normal menstrual cycle is 28 to 35 days. Of course, if your period is more than 40 days and it is regular, it is also normal.

The menstrual period for women is a special stage. After the menstrual period ends, the female body needs a certain amount of time to repair. However, if sexual intercourse is carried out during this repair process, it will cause various gynecological diseases in women. Therefore, it is recommended not to have sex on the first day after menstruation. It is recommended to have sex three days after the menstruation is over, maintain good sexual hygiene, and reduce the occurrence of gynecological diseases.
