What is the cause of vaginal bleeding during sex?

Many female friends experience vaginal bleeding after intercourse. Do you know the cause of vaginal bleeding during intercourse?

Especially when vaginal bleeding occurs after sexual intercourse, it means that your condition is already very serious. If you just don't treat it, then later treatment will be more difficult.

1. Contact bleeding

Contact bleeding refers to vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse or after a gynecological vaginal examination. There are many reasons for contact bleeding. If this happens, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the condition. The following diseases often occur after sexual intercourse bleeding examination, which is worthy of vigilance.

2. Contact Bleeding

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.

3. Cervical polyps

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.

4. Cervical 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.

5. 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.

6. Other reasons

Severe vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. may cause contact bleeding. The amount of bleeding is generally not much, sometimes there is only a little blood in the leucorrhea, which is easily ignored by patients. But even if it is discovered, some patients do not take it seriously and do not go to the hospital for treatment, which affects the early diagnosis of the disease.

7. Timely care

1. If there is a small amount of bleeding, pay attention to the patient's mental state, count the pulse, and let the patient rest in bed. Those with pale complexion and sweating should lower their heads, raise their feet, drink some light salt water, and keep warm but not overheat. Take some sedatives or hemostatic drugs at the same time. Wait until your condition stabilizes before going to the hospital.

2. You can also put a cold water bag or ice bag on the lower abdomen to stop the bleeding. When you feel nauseous, you should turn your face to one side to prevent suffocation. Vaginal bleeding in women can be caused by a variety of reasons, but if you encounter dysfunctional uterine bleeding, vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, etc., you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

3. Pay special attention during pregnancy! Because it may endanger the lives of mother and child, no matter how much bleeding occurs, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. In addition, you must pay attention to resting well. Whether you are pregnant or not, the coping methods and risk levels are different. The most terrifying thing is bleeding during pregnancy, because severe bleeding can endanger the lives of mother and child. In addition, if the amount of bleeding is small but there is severe abdominal pain, it may be internal bleeding. Therefore, if you bleed during pregnancy, no matter how much bleeding, you should contact an ambulance and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

4. When bleeding occurs, let the patient lie down and rest quietly. If your body temperature drops, you can use an electric blanket to keep your whole body warm. If you appear pale, sweat, and have a rapid pulse, these are signs of shock - you should elevate your feet and rest quietly.

5. In case of severe bleeding, you should pad the genitals with absorbent cotton and wrap the T-belt tightly. If there is a small amount of bleeding, you can just use a sanitary napkin to cover it. If the reproductive organs discharge abnormal secretions (blood clots or flesh pieces, etc.), they should be placed in a plastic bag for examination by a doctor. It is best not to let the patient see the discharge so as not to scare the patient.

The above is an introduction to the causes of vaginal bleeding during sex. This phenomenon occurs to women of all ages, whether they have sex or not. Because it is not only caused by excessive force in sexual life, it is also related to many internal disease factors, so when this phenomenon occurs, it must be treated in time.
