What is the cause of bleeding during intercourse four months after delivery?

We all know that expectant fathers and expectant mothers cannot have sex during the pregnancy, so after delivery, expectant fathers cannot control their emotions and have sex with their wives. However, some expectant mothers bleed during sex four months after delivery. What is going on? What should you do if you bleed during sex four months after delivery? Expectant mothers should pay special attention to this. Let's take a look at what is worth paying attention to.

Under normal circumstances, normal and coordinated sexual life will not cause vaginal bleeding in women. Vaginal bleeding after intercourse often indicates the presence of some pathological condition. Common causes of vaginal bleeding after intercourse include:

Malignant tumors

Cervical cancer is one of the common causes of post-coital bleeding. Most cervical cancer patients do not have any discomfort symptoms in the early stages, and bleeding after sexual intercourse may be the only symptom of early cervical cancer. Rare vaginal cancer can also cause bleeding after intercourse. Therefore, if female friends find themselves experiencing vaginal bleeding or bloody discharge after intercourse, they should be alert and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to rule out whether they have gynecological malignancies such as cervical cancer.

Inflammation of reproductive tract

Inflammation of the reproductive tract, such as cervicitis, vaginitis, endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, is also a common cause of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse.

1. Vaginitis. Common vaginitis includes candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, and senile vaginitis. Vaginitis usually has symptoms of vulvar itching and increased leucorrhea, and often has edema, congestion or ulceration of the vaginal mucosa. During sexual intercourse, the vagina will be stimulated and bloody secretions will flow out, and there will be a burning sensation in the vagina. Therefore, you should not have sex during vaginitis.

2. Cervicitis. It is relatively common for women of childbearing age to suffer from chronic cervicitis such as cervical erosion and cervical polyps. Mild cervical erosion will not cause post-coital bleeding. If bleeding occurs after sexual intercourse, you should consider the possibility of severe cervical erosion or large and numerous cervical polyps, or the possibility of cancer, and you should see a doctor as soon as possible. In case of acute cervicitis, bleeding after intercourse may often occur, and you should go to the hospital for prompt diagnosis and examination.

3. Diseases such as endometritis and pelvic inflammation. It is often accompanied by abdominal pain, back pain and excessive vaginal discharge, and requires going to the hospital for examination and regular treatment. Anti-inflammatory treatment is often effective.

Generally speaking from a medical point of view, new mothers can first feel their own physical condition and touch the degree of wound recovery before making a decision. For example, check whether the wound on the stomach has healed and whether the lochia has been discharged. 4-6 weeks after giving birth, the new mother should go to the hospital for the first comprehensive physical examination after delivery, especially the perineum.

Generally speaking, expectant mothers can have sex two months after giving birth, but if they are in a hurry, it may have a negative psychological impact on the new mother. As the saying goes, more haste makes waste. If you bleed during intercourse four months after delivery, you should go to the hospital in time to check whether there is any organ lesion. This will rule out the possibility of illness. If you are ill, you will know it at the first time and receive regular treatment.
