Why am I experiencing heavy bleeding during intercourse?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Bleeding during or after intercourse is called postcoital bleeding. Since this has happened to you twice and there is no pain, the most likely causes are cervical irritation or minor trauma, the cervix is delicate and can bleed with friction, vaginal dryness, which can cause minor bleeding, and polyps or benign growths on the cervix or vagina.

Less common but important causes to rule out include infection (such as cervicitis, yeast infection, or bacterial infection), precancerous or cancerous changes on the cervix (rare at 25 years of age, but screening is recommended), and hormonal imbalance.

It is advised to undergo a gynecological examination to establish the reasons for the bleeding. It is up to the doctor to decide whether to perform the Pap test or cervical examination based on the symptoms you describe.

In case of repeated bleeding, it is advisable not to engage in any sexual activity before seeing the doctor. In addition, note if the bleeding is accompanied by pain or an unpleasant smell of vaginal discharge.

Because the bleeding stopped immediately and is not associated with pain, it is most likely minor cervical or vaginal trauma, but evaluation is important to rule out infection or cervical lesions.

Consult a doctor in person if you notice:

• Persistent or heavy bleeding.

• Pain.

• Unusual discharge.

• Bleeding unrelated to sexual intercourse.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.

Thank you.
