What is the cause of bleeding after one week of sex?

When women have their periods, the most obvious symptom is bleeding. In fact, bleeding may also occur during non-menstrual periods. Some female friends noticed vaginal bleeding a week after having sex, so they thought they were pregnant. So, does bleeding a week after intercourse mean pregnancy?

If you bleed a week after having sex, you may be pregnant. However, if you suffer from some gynecological diseases, bleeding symptoms may also occur, such as cervical erosion, cervicitis, etc. And if you bleed a week after having sex, it is possible that your girlfriend is having her period. In addition, if you do not take contraceptive measures during intercourse and have a small amount of vaginal bleeding for a week, you should also consider that it is a small amount of bleeding caused by embryo implantation.

If a woman has bleeding symptoms a week after having sex, she needs to do a pregnancy test a few days later to confirm whether she is pregnant. You can go to the pharmacy to buy an early pregnancy test strip, and then use morning urine to test. You can also go to the hospital for a blood test. According to the level of hcg in the blood, it can also be determined whether a woman is pregnant.

If the hcg level is low, it means that you are not pregnant and the bleeding is most likely caused by cervical disease. If the amount of bleeding is heavy and similar to the menstrual flow a week after intercourse, it is usually due to early menstruation. It is quite common for women to have their menstrual period a week early.

Frequent bleeding after sex may cause cervical disease

The causes of bleeding during intercourse and bleeding during the middle and late periods of menstruation are different, and the treatments are also different. Bleeding in the middle and late stages of the menstrual period is caused by the fluctuation of female hormones in the middle and late stages of the menstrual period due to the start of the ovulation period. The small amount of bleeding is a physiological phenomenon and generally does not affect pregnancy. There is no need to take Anluoxue internally to promote blood circulation for treatment. In terms of treatment, you can take Chinese herbal medicines that nourish and nourish the kidney yang deficiency, such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills.

If bleeding during intercourse occurs repeatedly, it needs to be taken seriously. It is usually caused by cervical degeneration, not uterine polyps. Cervical lesions can be divided into benign lesions and malignant lesions. The most common benign lesions are chronic cervicitis and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (precancerous lesions), while malignant lesions are commonly known as cervical cancer.

The key to distinguishing benign and malignant lesions is to conduct cervical cytology examination, which is commonly known as TCT (cervical liquid-based cytology) to screen for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and early cervical cancer. If any abnormalities are found, further colposcopy and cervical tissue pathology examination are required to confirm the diagnosis. As a married woman of childbearing age, this item should be included in your annual health check-up.

Chronic cervicitis is common in pregnant women who have childbirth, miscarriage or surgical treatment that damages the cervix, and is caused by the invasion of pathogens and infection. Chronic cervicitis can be divided into cervical erosion, cervical cyst, endocervical membrane inflammation and cervical glandular cyst. Its clinical symptoms include excessive leucorrhea, bloody leucorrhea, and bleeding during intercourse. Mild chronic cervicitis without symptoms does not require treatment, but moderate to severe cervicitis with obvious symptoms requires treatment, which includes medication and physical therapy.

Uterine polyps can cause infertility:

Uterine intrauterine polyps are a common gynecological disease of the uterine cavity. They are oval soft tissue masses that protrude into the uterine cavity and are composed of uterine wall glandular ducts and interstitial space. It is more common in people aged 29 to 59. The surface of the cyst is smooth and light pink. They may appear singly or multiple times in different sizes. The large ones often have pedicles and may protrude outside the cervical os and even reach inside and outside the vagina. The causes of uterine polyps may be related to inflammation, endocrine disorders, especially excessive estrogen levels. Smaller uterine polyps often have no clinical symptoms; multiple diffuse polyps generally have menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation; large and medium-sized cysts or cysts that break into the cervical canal are prone to secondary infection and necrosis, resulting in non-menstrual bleeding and foul-smelling pink secretions.

Uterine intrauterine polyps can cause infertility, so women who want to have children should undergo hysteroscopic transurethral resection of uterine intrauterine polyps. Hysteroscopy or segmental curettage and sending the removed tissue or cyst for pathological examination can confirm the diagnosis.
