Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is usually 4 days long, and it stops. However, a day or two later, there might be a small amount of bleeding again. This is what is commonly referred to as "."My boyfriend and I had sex on the 5th day after my period. It was supposed to be clean, but every time it ended, there was bleeding, which lasted for about a day.
Could you please tell me how many days after my period I can have sexual intercourse? Also, will having sex after my period affect my health?
Doctor's answer:
Alright, generally it is not recommended to have sexual activity during menstruation, as there is an increased risk of developing gynecological infections. Any other time is fine, but it is important to be moderate, with two times per week being ideal. A healthy sex life means satisfying both partners without affecting the next day's work and studies. It is advised not to have sexual activity within the first one or two days after menstruation, as it may cause a return of menstruation. Wishing you good health.
