Is slight vaginal bleeding after unprotected sex due to pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

My partner and I had unprotected sex last night. She had pain during the intercourse, so we stopped. Also, I did not ejaculate inside her vagina. However, after a few hours, she had slight bleeding. Is it a sign of pregnancy, or did she get hurt during intercourse?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It is not a sign of pregnancy. However, the following can be the causes of bleeding:

Infection in the vagina can cause bleeding or lead to dryness and cause bleeding during or after sex. I suggest tablet Doxy 100 mg (Doxycycline Monohydrate) twice a day after food for five days to prevent infection.
Dryness due to infection, improper foreplay, dehydration, age, or hormonal imbalance. I suggest she drink adequate water and use coconut oil or Ky gel (Glycerol and Hydroxyethylcellulose) during sex.
Forceful sex.
Normal menstrual bleeding due to an early period.
Vaginismus, in which fear during sex, causes muscles in the genital area to contract and cause pain.
Deep penetration in a few positions during sex.

I suggest her to take the tablet Pause 500 (Tranexamic Acid) to help reduce bleeding. Consult a specialist doctor, talk to him or her, and start the medicines with their consent.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
