What to do if you bleed one day after sex

Many couples have encountered this situation: the sexual life goes smoothly, but one day after sex, vaginal bleeding occurs. This makes many female friends depressed. They don’t know why they are bleeding. What is going on? Is this serious or not? How to solve it? Below are some reasons why bleeding occurs after sex, as well as solutions.

Bleeding after sexual intercourse does not rule out the possibility of cervical diseases, such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, etc. Cervical erosion is a common disease among women of childbearing age. The main symptoms of cervical erosion are excessive vaginal discharge, foul odor, bleeding during sexual intercourse, etc. Specifically, a comprehensive gynecological examination is needed to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.

There are three common causes of bleeding after sexual intercourse:

Reason 1: 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.

Reason 2: Cervical polyps: Cervical polyps may occur due to long-term stimulation of the cervix by chronic inflammation. 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.

Reason three: Cervical cancer: Bleeding after sexual intercourse is its earliest symptom. Because there are more small blood vessels and more fragile tissues 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.

Bleeding one day after sexual intercourse is actually not a good sign, as it indicates that there may be a gynecological disease. Female friends must take this seriously. After all, if gynecological diseases are not treated in time, they may cause serious consequences, so it is necessary to hurry up for treatment to avoid causing greater harm to the body.
