Can you have sex after your period?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? May I have sex after my period?

Doctor's answer:

After menstruation, cohabitation is possible, but it is advisable to wait for two or three days after the menstrual period ends before engaging in sexual activity. This is because, immediately after menstruation, the surface of the uterine cavity still has broken blood vessels and glands, and small blood vessels may still exhibit bleeding. The new endometrium has also just begun to grow, and the surface has not yet been covered with epithelium.
Women with an anteverted uterus are naturally more prone to conception. You can follow your usual lifestyle, and there is no need to deliberately adopt a specific position. However, after sexual intercourse, it is recommended to lie flat for 1-2 hours and avoid getting up too quickly to engage in activity.
