Can you have sex on the last day of your period?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: Having sexual intercourse before the menstrual period is completely clean, and there was also bleeding during the intercourse.
History of Treatment and Effect: I have never had any problems with my body. What kind of help do I need: Is it bad for the body to have sexual intercourse before the menstrual period is completely clean, and there was also bleeding during the intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

If your situation involves having sex shortly after your period just stops, it may cause congestion in the uterine cavity, leading to rebleeding of the uterine lining and vaginal bleeding. Additionally, having sex during your period is more likely to exacerbate pelvic congestion, resulting in prolonged menstruation, heavier menstrual flow, and other gynecological complications such as dysmenorrhea. Furthermore, during sexual activity, bacteria attached to the male penis, urethra, and the female vaginal opening can enter the female reproductive tract, potentially causing infections of the reproductive organs and damaging the yet-to-recover endometrium. It is recommended that normal sexual activity should not be resumed until 2-3 days after the period has completely ended, as this is more beneficial for women's reproductive health.
