I get mild bleeding after sex. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This is called post-coital bleeding. This is always a matter of slight concern. It may usually be due to local vaginal infection, but occasionally it may happen due to pre-cancerous lesions in the cervix. I will be able to answer better if I can know your cervical cancer vacation status. When was your last PAP smear test? Do you have regular periods?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). This does not look like frank blood. However, it is best to go for a cervical examination in these cases. Doctor will put a small instrument speculum inside your vagina and look at your cervix and vagina. It is a painless thing. Mostly, there is just a simple infection that is easily treatable. If she finds a gross abnormality, she may take a biopsy or insist on a colposcopy, which is also a well-tolerated OPD procedure. If there is no abnormality, then only a PAP smear and HPV test will be done. You have to remember that prevention is always better than cure. Also, you may plan the gynecologist visit in a week. It is not that kind of urgency. So do not panic.
