Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The term "full period" generally refers to the 7 days before the onset of menstruation and the 8 days after it ends. Intercourse during the safe period usually does not lead to pregnancy. The days before and after the ovulation day, including the ovulation day itself, are collectively referred to as the 10-day ovulation period. Because sexual intercourse during the ovulation period increases the likelihood of conception, it is also known as the fertile period or the risky period.
