It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse before or within two to three days after the end of menstruation, as there is a high risk of contracting gynecological diseases and affecting the timing of menstruation. Many women are also unsure if having sexual intercourse during the approaching menstrual period will affect their menstrual cycle. Will having sexual intercourse during the approaching menstrual period delay their menstrual cycle?
If sexual intercourse is approaching the menstrual period, using a condom will not cause a delay in menstruation. However, if no measures are taken, there is a possibility of pregnancy due to delayed ovulation, and menstruation may stop accordingly. Of course, if a woman takes emergency contraception after sexual intercourse, there is also a possibility of delaying menstruation, and the specific situation depends on her own situation.
In fact, the delay of menstruation is also a very normal phenomenon, which may be affected by the girl's own emotions or medication. As long as it is within a week, it is normal, so there is no need to worry too much. Just pay attention to drinking more hot water and keeping warm. However, if no measures are taken during sexual intercourse and the menstrual period is approaching, there is still a certain possibility of pregnancy, which means it will affect menstruation.
Under normal circumstances, ovulation occurs in the middle of two menstrual periods, so having sex near the end of the period generally does not result in pregnancy or delay of menstruation. However, if it is due to endocrine disorders, gynecological diseases, or emotional influences, it is also difficult to delay menstruation, which is not particularly related to having sex.
