Patient's question:
I had my period on August 5th and it ended on the 12th. Which period is my safe period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the safe period refers to the days before and after ovulation, as the chances of conception are relatively low. However, ovulation does not occur on a fixed day, so there is no absolute safe period. The safe period for contraception generally refers to the seven days before and the eight days after menstruation, but it is not entirely safe either. Your menstrual cycle length and the duration of your period are closely related. The true safe period is only the three to five days before menstruation. After menstruation ends, it is generally not absolutely safe. A few days before the period is also very safe. If you do not have a plan to conceive, avoid ovulation and calculate the safe period. Rinse the vagina immediately after sexual activity to reduce the chances of conception.
