Is it normal to bleed on the second occasion of sex?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 18 years old. I am on the contraceptive pill and have started my second month by last week. Two weeks ago, I had sex for the first time and bled during and after sex. But, thought nothing of it as it was normal. Then, I had my period on my pill free days. When I had sex yesterday, I bled again for the second time. Is this normal?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

  • Although most girls have one time bleeding during sex, a few of them report multiple bleeding during early years of sexual life. I mean to say that it is entirely normal to have to bleed on the second occasion.
  • In case the bleeding remains persistent even after use of multiple positions, and there is pain during intercourse, then I will suggest you see a doctor or report back to me for further guidance.

For further information consult a sexologist online.
