How many days after menstruation can I have sex?

Women generally have stronger sexual desire after menstruation, but their uterus is more fragile at this time, so they cannot have sex. Some women start having sex on the first day after the end of their menstruation, which results in symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, affecting their health. So, how many days after the end of the menstrual period is healthy to have sex? Let’s take a look at this issue together.

1: It is better to have sex a few days after the menstrual period

Generally, it is best to have sex 2 or 3 days after the menstruation stops, because after the menstrual bleeding stops, there are still some broken blood vessels and glandular ducts on the surface of her uterine cavity, and some tiny blood vessels may have some bleeding. The new endometrium has just begun to grow, and the surface of the uterine cavity is not yet covered by the epithelium. At this time, the wound in the uterine cavity is like skin with epidermal abrasions. Although it will no longer bleed, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired.

2. Reasons for not having sex during menstruation

1. Because the uterus contracts during sexual impulse, endometrial fragments may be squeezed into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis, which can also lead to infertility.

2. Harm to men: if menstrual secretions enter the male urethra, it may also cause male urethritis.

3. During sexual intercourse during menstruation, the female reproductive organs will be congested for a long time, resulting in increased menstrual blood and prolonged menstruation.

4. The female immune system itself is antigenic to sperm. Under normal circumstances, sperm combines with the egg or is expelled from the body before coming into contact with the immune system, and therefore will not stimulate women to produce anti-sperm antibodies. However, if you have sex during your menstrual period, it will cause women to produce anti-sperm antibodies.

Under normal circumstances, you can have sex two or three days after the end of menstruation. However, some people have poor physical constitution and have a lot of menstrual blood residue, so it is best to wait until the menstrual blood is completely discharged before having sex. When having sex just after the menstruation ends, you should pay special attention to hygiene to avoid infection. It is best for the man to use a condom.
