Can you get pregnant a few days before your period if you have sex?

Patient's question:

A woman is not on her period. Will she get pregnant if it goes in?

Doctor's answer:

If your menstrual cycle is regular, you should have sexual intercourse during the safe period, with a very low chance of pregnancy. It is recommended that you pay attention to your menstrual cycle and test for pregnancy promptly if it is delayed. Sexual activity during menstruation cannot lead to pregnancy; it is absolutely safe. However, having sex during menstruation increases the risk of bacterial infection, which can cause vaginitis or pelvic inflammatory disease. Retrograde menstruation may also lead to endometriosis, resulting in infertility or ectopic pregnancy, which poses significant risks. Therefore, it is advisable not to have sex during menstruation. It is recommended to wait for a period of time and seek medical attention promptly from a reputable hospital if any discomfort occurs.
