What is the reason for increased discharge after sex?

Sexual intercourse can not only enhance the emotions between lovers, but is also the main way to conceive a child. During sexual intercourse, the male's penis will enter the female's vagina. If the lower body is not cleaned properly after sexual intercourse, it can easily lead to bacterial invasion and put women at risk of gynecological diseases. Many women have experienced increased secretions from their lower body after having sex. What's going on?

What should I do if the amount of vaginal discharge increases the day after sex?

The increase in vaginal discharge is related to the estrogen level in women's bodies. When the estrogen level rises, the cervix will secrete a lot of mucus, and then the vaginal discharge will increase. This is a normal phenomenon. If it happens just once a day, women don't have to worry. If this continues for a long time, it is recommended that women go to the hospital for a check-up and receive treatment based on the results.

After having sex, it is not enough to just wipe with paper towels or wet wipes. Women should gently wipe the private parts from front to back with clean water. Since the vagina itself has a cleansing function, there is no need to use douching to clean it, so as not to destroy the acid-base value of the private parts. And you can only put on underwear after your private parts are dry.

After having sex, women should drink plenty of water. In addition to replenishing the water lost in the body, it can also help the bladder expel bacteria. In terms of diet, women should eat foods containing probiotics such as kimchi and yogurt, which can replenish the good bacteria in the vagina and reduce the risk of private infection. In life, women need to wear loose clothes and exercise more to be in better health.

What causes bleeding after sex?

Under normal circumstances, a harmonious sexual life will not cause bleeding in women. Normal vaginal bleeding will only occur if there is damage to the vagina, such as surgical injury or trauma, or rough sexual intercourse. Sometimes vaginal bleeding may occur after intercourse due to pathological conditions. The physiological characteristics of women of different ages are different, and the common causes of vaginal bleeding are also different. 》>How many times a week should you have sex to easily win the bid?

Generally speaking, the main reasons for vaginal bleeding after intercourse are as follows:

1. Damage to the external genital tract and damage to the hymen.

The most common is the rupture of the hymen during the first sexual intercourse, and this bleeding usually occurs during sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse may be painful and accompanied by bleeding, but the amount of bleeding is usually not large. 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 heavy 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. It is best to rest for a while after the hymen is damaged before having sexual intercourse to avoid further damage and bleeding.

Vaginal laceration.

This often happens during or at the end of sexual intercourse. The specific manifestations are vaginal bleeding with heavy bleeding, which is 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. Therefore, women who have undergone this type of surgery should go to the hospital for a check-up before having sexual intercourse to avoid serious damage to the vagina during sexual intercourse.

In addition, improper sexual posture and position can also lead to vaginal injury and bleeding. The amount of bleeding is related to the location and degree of injury. 2. Inflammation of the external genital tract

Pelvic inflammatory disease.

Pelvic inflammation can cause pelvic congestion. If the endometrium is congested and edematous, sex may cause the congested endometrium to release hormones, but this opportunity is rare.

Cervicitis or cervical 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.

Cervical polyps.

Chronic inflammation may cause cervical polyps due to long-term stimulation of the cervix. 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.

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.

The cervix of patients with early cervical cancer may not show obvious changes, or cancer and cervical erosion may exist at the same time. Cervical cancer bleeds easily when touched, mostly because the cervical cancer tissue invades the blood vessels in the interstitium. Postmenopausal women are prone to senile vaginitis due to the lack of estrogen. At this time, the vaginal mucosa becomes thinner and may be damaged during intercourse, causing bleeding.

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 symptoms often occur after intercourse.

3. External malignant tumors

Cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is one of the common causes of postcoital 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 having vaginal bleeding or bloody discharge after sexual 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.

Local lesions of the reproductive system.

There are many reasons for female bleeding during sexual intercourse, which can be roughly divided into two categories: improper sexual intercourse and local organic lesions of the female reproductive system, with the latter being more common. If vaginal bleeding occurs after intercourse, do not panic, go to the hospital as soon as possible, find out the cause of the bleeding, rule out malignant tumors such as cervical cancer, and receive timely treatment.

4. Having sex after menstruation or abnormal menstruation

If you encounter menstrual abnormalities, you think that your menstruation is over, so you have sexual intercourse too early, which causes the uterus to contract under sexual stimulation, and the remaining blood in the uterine cavity is discharged from the vagina. In addition, a small number of women experience bleeding during ovulation. For this type of bleeding, if a gynecological examination shows no abnormalities in the vagina and cervix, the above possibilities should be considered.
