How to manage pain from heavy bleeding during or after sex?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have pain and sometimes heavy bleeding during or after sex and I can only do certain positions where I can tolerate the pain. I have already been tested and I am negative for STDs. I also have really heavy periods to the point that I cannot wear tampons because they do not work. What is going on with me?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You need to get a pap smear test and a per speculum examination done to rule out cervical erosions or cervicitis which are the most common cause of post-coital bleeding in reproductive age group women. The element of infection present can cause pain during menses and also pelvic inflammatory disease which can be the cause for heavy menstruation.
