Patient's question:
Please let me know, how many days are there in the safe period of menstruation. Can I not use any safety measures?Doctor's answer:
Hello, women in their fertile period usually ovulate in the middle of two menstrual cycles, which is called the ovulation period. After the egg is released, the time for conception is within 24 hours. After sperm enters the female reproductive tract, if it acquires fertility in good cervical mucus, it can still survive for 1 to 3 days. If the average menstrual cycle is 28 days, the ovulation date is 14 days before the period. If the ovulation time can be determined, avoiding sexual intercourse in the 5 days before ovulation and the 1-week period after ovulation reduces the risk of pregnancy, which is known as the safe period method of contraception.However, it is still recommended to take contraceptive measures during the safe period, as there may be errors in calculation.
