From the perspective of women's health, rushing to have sex during or after menstruation can cause significant physical harm to women. After menstruation, uterine repair takes some time. Having sex right after menstruation not only causes damage to the uterus, but also easily leads to gynecological infections and even infertility. So, can we have sex a few days after menstruation? Gynecological experts point out that sexual activity should be carried out at least 3 days after menstruation!
Hazards of having sexual intercourse during menstruation
1. Gynecological infection: Just after menstruation, the uterus and endometrium have not been repaired, and the shedding area of the endometrium is stimulated by sexual activity and bleeding occurs. At the same time, the protective acidic secretions in the female vagina are diluted by menstrual blood, weakening resistance and making sexual intercourse more susceptible to infection.
2. Symptoms of menstrual discomfort: Local stimulation of the uterus can increase menstrual flow, cause lower abdominal pain, and prolong menstruation, exacerbating menstrual discomfort.
3. Infertility or ectopic pregnancy: Negative pressure during sexual intercourse causes a large amount of pathogenic bacteria to be "sucked" into the fallopian tubes. Pathogenic bacteria multiply in the fallopian tubes and even spread outside the uterus, entering the pelvic cavity and causing pelvic inflammatory disease. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes can easily lead to adhesions, and in severe cases, the lumen can be blocked, making it difficult for sperm to pass through and conceive.
Having sex a few days after menstruation can easily lead to pregnancy
Having sexual intercourse for more than 8 days after menstruation is usually more likely to lead to pregnancy. However, due to the different menstrual cycles of each person, the number of days after menstruation can easily lead to pregnancy varies from person to person. The ovulation period can be calculated using the following formula:
1. For women with relatively stable menstrual periods, ovulation usually occurs on the 14th day before the next menstrual cycle. Therefore, the first 5 days of this day, including this day and the last 4 days of this day, are called ovulation period. That is to say, the ovulation period for most women is ten days.
2. If the menstrual cycle is unstable, the ovulation period can be calculated by subtracting 18 days from the shortest menstrual cycle days on the first day of ovulation, and subtracting 11 days from the longest menstrual cycle days on the last day of ovulation. The calculation method is based on the first day of menstruation and calculates the number of days backwards.
