Vaginal bleeding in women during sexual intercourse refers to local bleeding in the vagina or external genitalia during or after sexual intercourse. Generally, the amount of bleeding is not large, and only a very small number can cause heavy bleeding.

What causes vaginal bleeding in women during sexual intercourse? Vaginal bleeding in women who have sex may be related to the following:

1. Hymen damage

This is the most common symptom, which occurs when a woman's hymen ruptures during her first sexual intercourse. It is also accompanied by severe pain and bleeding during sexual intercourse, but the amount of bleeding is usually not much. If the injury is not serious, the bleeding will stop. However, sometimes when the rupture of the hymen happens to damage the blood vessels in that area, bleeding is more severe and requires pressure to stop the bleeding. Cotton swabs and other tools are needed. In severe cases, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

2. Vaginal laceration

This is when blood appears in the vagina during or after sexual intercourse. The amount of bleeding is relatively large, and it is not easy to stop on its own, and the bleeding lasts for a long time. This phenomenon is because vaginal lacerations often occur during involuntary sexual intercourse or extremely rough sexual intercourse. Improper sexual intercourse posture can also cause vaginal bleeding in women during sexual intercourse. During sexual intercourse, the sexual intercourse posture is not correct, because improper position can also cause vaginal injury and bleeding. The amount of bleeding depends on the location and extent of the injury.

3. Vaginitis

Common vaginitis is divided into candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, and senile vaginitis. Vaginitis is usually accompanied by symptoms of vulvar itching and increased leucorrhea, and vaginal mucosal edema, congestion or ulceration. Having sex at this time will stimulate the vagina and cause blood to flow out, while there will be a burning sensation in the vagina. Because you should not have sex until vaginitis is completely cured.

4. Cervicitis

Women of childbearing age suffer from chronic cervicitis, such as cervical erosion and cervical polyps, which are more common. Mild cervical erosion will not lead to vaginal discharge after intercourse. If this happens, it indicates severe cervical erosion and even the possibility of cancer, and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

5. 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.

6. 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.
