Patient's question:
Can you get pregnant if you have sex on the last day of your period?Doctor's answer:
The possibility of pregnancy is unlikely. Don't be anxious. It is recommended not to have sexual activity in the days immediately after the menstrual period, as this is not good for your health and can easily lead to gynecological inflammation. The ovulation day is generally around 14 days before the next menstrual period. The 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, including ovulation day itself, make up a total of 10 days known as the fertile window. Sexual activity during the fertile window increases the likelihood of pregnancy, which is why this period is also called the "dangerous period" or "high-risk period." The menstrual period is considered an absolute safe period and does not result in pregnancy. However, during the menstrual period, the uterine lining sheds, which can easily lead to some gynecological diseases. Sexual activity should be avoided as much as possible during this time.
