Cervical diseases have various manifestations. In addition to the possibility of cervical erosion and cervical cancer, cervical cysts, cervicitis, and uterine cervical fibroids can all cause bleeding during sexual intercourse. You must not ignore it. If it cannot be cured in time, it will not only cause harm to the body, but also cause infertility for women who have not yet become pregnant.

If vaginal bleeding occurs after intercourse, women should pay great attention to it. It's best to go to the hospital for examination to avoid unnecessary things.

Causes of bleeding during intercourse

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 mild to moderate cervical erosion, the friction between the male penis head and the cervix during sexual intercourse can cause painful bleeding. Because this type of bleeding is small, it does not flow out immediately but accumulates in the female vagina, and the color of the blood changes from fresh to old. Therefore, when the blood is discharged the next day, it is dark red.

2. Cervical cyst. Long-term irritation of the cervix due to inflammation can cause cervical cysts. Single or multiple small granulation tissues with pedicles grow at the cervical opening, which look like bean sprouts and are roughly the size of a finger. The cyst is brittle and will bleed if touched, so couples will bleed after sexual intercourse. This type of bleeding is usually bright red.

3. Cervical cancer. Bleeding after sexual intercourse is the earliest symptom. Because there are more small blood vessels in the cancerous area and the tissues are more sensitive, the capillaries will rupture due to damage and bleed every time after sexual intercourse. If the tumor develops further, it will bleed more easily.

4. Endometriosis. Some uterine endometriosis grows in the cervix and appears as a purple mass. If this kind of purple mass is encountered during intercourse, it will cause bleeding. The bleeding is usually small in amount and dark red in color. Abdominal pain will always occur after sexual intercourse.

5. Pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammation can cause pelvic congestion. If the uterine wall is hematoma and edema, the hematoma endometrium may be ruptured after intercourse, but this opportunity is very rare.
