What causes vaginal bleeding after sex?

In life, some women find that they have vaginal bleeding after having sex, but what is puzzling is that they are not on their menstrual period when they have sex. In fact, vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse is very common in life, especially for some women who have suffered from gynecological diseases, vaginal bleeding is not uncommon. But what are the specific reasons? Today I will tell you the reasons.

1. Cervical polyps. Chronic inflammation may cause cervical polyps due to long-term stimulation of the cervix. Single or multiple small pedunculated granulation tissues grow at the cervical opening, looking like bean buds, and the larger ones are as big as a finger. Polyps are fragile and tender, and will bleed if touched, so bleeding may occur after sexual intercourse. This bleeding is usually bright red.

2. Cervical cancer. Bleeding after sexual intercourse is the earliest symptom. Because there are more small blood vessels and the tissues are more fragile in the cancer lesions, the capillaries will rupture and bleed due to damage after each sexual intercourse. If the cancer grows further, it will bleed more easily.

3. Endometriosis. Some endometriosis grows on the cervix and appears as blue-purple nodules. If this blue-purple ectopic nodule is touched during sexual intercourse, it will cause bleeding. The amount of bleeding is generally small and dark red, and abdominal pain often occurs after intercourse.

4. Pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammation can cause pelvic congestion. If the endometrium is congested and edematous, sex may cause the congested endometrium to release hormones, but this opportunity is rare.

5. Cervicitis (erosion). 90% of married women suffer from cervicitis. Cervicitis is divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe according to the degree of cervical erosion. For patients with moderate or severe cervical erosion, the rubbing of the cervix by the glans of the male's penis during sexual intercourse may cause injury and bleeding. Because the amount of bleeding is small, it does not flow out immediately but accumulates in the vagina, and the color of the blood changes from fresh to old. Therefore, when the blood flows out the next day, it is dark red.

After reading the above description by the editor, I believe that you, as smart as you are, must have discovered that vaginal bleeding is related to inflammation of the female reproductive organs. Although this is a very common symptom, it does not mean that the harm it brings to us is small. Therefore, the editor here recommends that everyone go to a regular gynecological hospital for professional examination and treatment in time to avoid aggravating the inflammation.
