The term “menstruation” generally refers to a woman’s period. Having intercourse close to the time of menstruation does not usually result in pregnancy, but for women with irregular periods, pregnancy is possible, so it is advisable to use contraception.
In order to become pregnant, it is necessary to ensure that intercourse takes place when the ovaries are ovulating, and ovulation occurs about 14 days before the next menstrual period, so intercourse near the time of menstruation does not usually lead to pregnancy, and the patient does not need to worry too much.
However, for women who usually have irregular periods, ovulation does not have a clear pattern, so pregnancy may also occur. Even though the chances of pregnancy are lower near the time of menstruation, it is recommended to take contraceptive measures.
If the patient has delayed menstruation, it is recommended to consult the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations, clarify the cause of the disease, and target treatment and therapy under the guidance of the doctor.
