What causes vaginal bleeding after sex?

In daily life, many women find that their vagina is bleeding after having sex, which makes women feel very scared. With such fear, they will have a shadow when they have sex next time. What many women want to know is what causes vaginal bleeding after sex? Let's hear what gynecologists say! I hope that female friends can understand more through the editor's introduction.

1. Rough sex causes vaginal tearing

Rough behavior may damage the vaginal mucosa or the skin of the vaginal opening, causing bleeding, usually fresh blood. Sexual intercourse that is too hasty or too violent may cause the vaginal wall to not expand fully, which can easily cause the vaginal wall to tear. This situation is more common among young girls who have eaten the forbidden fruit. Generally speaking, a woman's vagina is elastic, has many vertical and horizontal folds, is easy to expand, and will not tear. However, if the woman has not completely relaxed, her muscles will contract and tearing may occur if she uses too much force.

Countermeasures: If the vaginal tear is not serious, you can wait for the wound to heal automatically or go to the hospital for doctor treatment while stopping the bleeding. Never be afraid to see a doctor when you are ill.

2. Cervical erosion leads to bleeding during sexual intercourse

If bleeding after sexual intercourse occurs repeatedly and is not related to the posture, in addition to bleeding during sexual intercourse, there is also increased leucorrhea, which is often purulent. There may be pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area and bladder irritation; it may be cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is caused by long-term inflammatory stimulation, which causes the squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix to fall off, and the peeling surface is gradually covered by the proliferating columnar epithelium. Because the columnar epithelium is very thin, and there are blood vessels and interstitium underneath it, during sexual intercourse, the penis and cervix are in direct contact, so bleeding is very easy to occur during sexual intercourse.

Countermeasures: Moderate to severe cervical erosion requires physical therapy, such as high-frequency radio wave LEEP technology.

3. Cervical polyps cause contact bleeding

There are two types of cervical polyps. One type of polyp has its root attached to the cervical opening or the cervical canal. It is a local hyperplasia of the cervical mucosa under inflammatory stimulation, protruding outward from the external opening of the cervix. The surface of the polyp is covered by a layer of columnar epithelium, which contains cervical glands. The stroma is rich in microvessels and loose connective tissue, accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration.

This type of polyp can be single or multiple. It is generally small in size, with a diameter of less than 1 cm. It is tongue-shaped, bright red in color, soft and brittle in texture, and has a slender pedicle that is prone to bleeding. Generally speaking, women with cervical polyps do not have any special discomfort symptoms. Sometimes there will be increased vaginal discharge or blood in the vaginal discharge or bleeding after sexual intercourse.

Countermeasures: Once cervical polyps are discovered, it is best to remove them surgically.

4. It is normal to have bleeding after having sex right after your period

When menstruation has just ended, sexual intercourse can cause bleeding because the vagina and endometrium have just been repaired. This is normal.

Countermeasure: Do not have sex within 1-2 days after your period ends.

After the explanation by the above experts, everyone should have a deeper understanding of the causes of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse. I hope that women with vaginal bleeding can find the cause as soon as possible, and then use the corresponding methods to deal with it, so as to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. Also, male friends, please don’t be so rough during sex, be more gentle.
