Bleeding after intercourse

Women are susceptible to various gynecological diseases. If they do not pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of sexual intercourse, they are also prone to inflammation. Bleeding after intercourse is a common phenomenon, but a coordinated sexual life will not cause vaginal bleeding in women. Once vaginal bleeding occurs in women, it means that women will have crystals, which may be due to certain diseases in the body. You should go to a gynecological hospital for examination as soon as possible.

One of the common gynecological symptoms is vaginal bleeding. It is also common for some women with menstrual disorders to bleed after intercourse, but the amount of bleeding is generally small and does not pose a health threat. If bleeding after intercourse occurs frequently and the amount is large, then women should go to a gynecological hospital to see a doctor for examination as soon as possible.

The physiological characteristics of women of different ages are different, and the common causes of vaginal bleeding are also different. Generally speaking, the main reasons for vaginal bleeding after intercourse are as follows:

External genital tract injury

1. Damage to the hymen. The most common is rupture of the hymen during first sexual intercourse. This bleeding usually occurs during sexual intercourse. There may be pain and bleeding at the time, but the amount of bleeding is usually not much. If the injury is not serious, the bleeding will stop soon. 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 (such as using a clean cotton ball or gauze, a clean towel, etc.), or even going to the hospital for treatment.

2. Vaginal laceration. Vaginal bleeding occurs during or after sexual intercourse and the amount of bleeding is heavy, difficult to stop on its own, and lasts for a long time. Vaginal lacerations often occur during involuntary sexual intercourse or very rough sexual intercourse. Vaginal lacerations are also seen in vaginal malformations, such as vaginal septum, transverse septum, double vagina, and vaginal stenosis. If the vaginal wound heals poorly after vaginal plastic surgery, hymen repair, vaginal tumor removal surgery, or hysterectomy, sexual intercourse may easily cause damage. Improper sexual posture and position can also cause vaginal injury and bleeding. The amount of bleeding depends on the location and extent of the injury. There was a woman who, after being raped, suffered severe lacerations from the posterior vaginal wall to the vaginal vault and suffered heavy bleeding. She went to the hospital for treatment 6 hours later. When she did, she had already shown signs of hemorrhagic shock, including pale complexion, rapid pulse, and low blood pressure.

If a woman bleeds during sexual intercourse, the first thing to do is to find out the cause of the bleeding during sexual intercourse. If the bleeding during sexual intercourse is caused by local organic lesions of the female external genitalia, the bleeding during sexual intercourse can be cured by curing the local lesions. If bleeding during sexual intercourse is caused by vulvar ulcers, vulvar eczema, or vulvar herpes, you should first use antibiotics to eliminate the inflammation, and cure the eczema and herpes. The bleeding during sexual intercourse will heal naturally. If bleeding during sexual intercourse is caused by vaginal trichomoniasis, you should first use metronidazole to treat the trichomoniasis. After the trichomoniasis is cured, the bleeding during sexual intercourse will heal naturally.

Women should pay more attention to learning gynecological knowledge in their lives, couples should be considerate of each other, and women should be mentally and physically relaxed during intercourse, and not be too nervous. Some bleeding after intercourse is a normal physiological phenomenon, and some is a pathological symptom. If bleeding after intercourse occurs frequently, it is recommended that women go to a regular gynecological hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
