Can cleaning after sexual intercourse help with contraception? Women should pay attention to three points when having sex
Post Date November, 16 2024
I often hear some women say that they take a shower immediately after having sex, while others believe that taking a shower immediately can affect their ability to conceive. This also makes many women particularly puzzled, do they need to take a shower after sex? If you don't wash it, it feels sticky and uncomfortable. Will bathing affect sexual activity? Today, let's explore together.
What should women pay attention to when having sex?
1、 Inability to engage in sexual activity during menstruation
If a woman is in the menstrual period, it is important to avoid sexual activity. If sexual activity is prohibited during the menstrual period, it can easily lead to infection. After all, during menstruation, the cervix is in a dilated state, and engaging in sexual activity can cause cervical damage due to genital collision. It is also easy for bacteria to enter the uterine cavity and cause uterine diseases.
2、 Take proper contraceptive measures
If a woman has not yet planned to conceive, contraceptive measures must be taken during sexual intercourse. Don't think that cleaning the genitals after sexual intercourse can achieve contraceptive effects, as unintended pregnancy can cause significant harm. Especially for women who need artificial abortion to terminate pregnancy, it is easy to induce various gynecological diseases.
Can taking a shower after sex help with contraception?
Some gynecologists have clearly pointed out that bathing after sexual intercourse cannot have the effect of contraception. Due to the rapid forward movement of sperm when entering the vagina during sexual activity, and the survival time of sperm in the female body is around 72 hours. If a woman is in the ovulation stage at this time, the probability of conception is relatively high, and bathing after sexual intercourse can only clean the external genitalia and cannot remove sperm that has entered the vagina. So it is unscientific and ineffective to use contraception by taking a shower after sexual intercourse.
