What to do if you bleed after sex

Couples will enhance their affection for each other through sexual intercourse, but some female friends may experience bleeding after intercourse, which can be divided into normal bleeding and pathological bleeding. Normal bleeding refers to bleeding caused by the tearing of the hymen during the first intercourse or bleeding caused by intercourse during menstruation, while pathological bleeding refers to bleeding caused by gynecological diseases such as cervicitis. So what should we do if we bleed after intercourse? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

Generally speaking, the causes of vaginal bleeding after sex are different for women of different ages. Postpartum bleeding mainly involves the following aspects:

1. Cervical polyps: Due to long-term inflammatory stimulation, single or multiple pedunculated polyp-like tissues grow at the cervical opening. They are brittle and tender in texture and bleed on contact. The bleeding is usually bright red and can be seen on the day of intercourse.

[Examination and Treatment] A preliminary diagnosis can be made through gynecological examination and colposcopy. After surgical removal, the tumor can be sent for pathological examination to confirm the diagnosis.

2. Cervical erosion: According to the degree of cervical erosion, it is divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe. Generally, those without clinical symptoms do not need treatment. However, for those with moderate or severe cervical erosion, the friction of the glans of the male's penis against the cervix during intercourse may cause traumatic bleeding. This type of bleeding is small in amount and accumulates in the vagina. Due to oxidation, the color of the blood gradually becomes darker, so when it flows out the next day after intercourse, it appears as brown vaginal discharge.

[Examination and Treatment] A preliminary diagnosis can be made through gynecological examination and colposcopy. To rule out the possibility of cervical cancer, a cervical TCT examination is required to show no abnormalities before surgery or microwave treatment. If there is concurrent vaginal inflammation, the vaginal inflammation must be treated before surgery. After surgery, cervical medication and red light therapy can be used to promote the recovery of the cervical wound.

3. Endocervicitis: It is a type of chronic cervicitis with hidden clinical manifestations, and some only present as bleeding after intercourse.

[Examination and treatment] Gynecological examination and colposcopy can be used to check the redness of the cervical opening and the presence of purulent secretions in the cervical canal, which can be used for a preliminary diagnosis. Further examination of routine leucorrhea, cervical TCT, mycoplasma and chlamydia culture + drug sensitivity test is required. The cervical canal can be treated after the vaginal inflammation improves. After the operation, cervical canal medication and red light therapy can be used to promote the recovery of the cervical canal wound.

The above is a detailed introduction on how to treat and examine bleeding after sexual intercourse. If this symptom occurs in your life, the first thing you should do is not to panic. You should analyze whether it is normal bleeding or disease-related bleeding based on your symptoms. If the bleeding is caused by a disease, you need to go to the hospital for examination and corresponding treatment.
