What is the reason for bleeding after sex? Or these reasons

Many women find that they experience vaginal bleeding after having sex with their partners, which has a great impact on their married life. So what are the reasons for this phenomenon?

What to do if you have vaginal bleeding after sex

If a woman bleeds after intercourse, the first thing to do is to find out the cause of the bleeding. If the bleeding during sexual intercourse is caused by local organic lesions of the female external genitalia, the bleeding during sexual intercourse can be cured by curing the local lesions. If bleeding during sex is caused by vulvar ulcers, vulvar eczema, or vulvar herpes, you should first use antibiotics to eliminate the inflammation, and cure the eczema and herpes. The bleeding during sex will heal naturally. If bleeding during sex is caused by vaginal trichomoniasis, you should first use metronidazole to treat trichomoniasis. After the trichomoniasis is cured, the bleeding during sex will heal naturally. If bleeding during intercourse is caused by improper intercourse, the couple should learn about sex together, be considerate of each other, cooperate fully, and adopt appropriate intercourse methods and positions.

However, most bleeding after intercourse is caused by organic diseases of the reproductive system. For example, cervical erosion combined with severe cervicitis can cause bleeding. Cervical polyps are actually a manifestation of cervicitis and may also cause bleeding. Cervical cancer may cause bleeding. Endocervical and endometrial lesions may also cause bleeding.

Don’t be too nervous if you bleed after sex, but be sure to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out cervical cancer. The incidence of cervical cancer is getting higher and higher, increasing at a rate of 2%-3% per year, and the incidence is getting younger and younger. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and timely diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying the disease.

What causes bleeding after sex?

There are many reasons for bleeding after intercourse, which can be roughly divided into two categories: improper sexual intercourse and local organic lesions of the female reproductive system. If you have bleeding after intercourse, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to detect cervical cancer early and treat it early. You should also pay attention to the personal hygiene of yourself and your sexual partner, and pay attention to relaxation in your daily life.

There are many gynecological diseases that cause bleeding during intercourse, the most common ones include cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucous uterine fibroids, post-IUD insertion, senile vaginitis, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, etc. Cervical erosion and cervical polyps are both manifestations of chronic cervicitis. Cervical polyps are caused by the stimulation of chronic cervical inflammation. They are formed by local hyperplasia of the cervical canal mucosa, which gradually protrudes outward. The surface is covered with a layer of columnar epithelium and has abundant microvessels, which are easy to bleed when touched. Cervical erosion is also caused by long-term inflammatory stimulation, which causes the squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix to fall off, and the peeling surface is gradually covered by columnar epithelium derived from the proliferation of the cervical canal. The columnar epithelium is very thin, and underneath it are blood vessels and stroma, so it is easy to bleed during sexual intercourse.

Women with submucosal uterine fibroids, especially those protruding from the cervix, may experience bleeding during sexual intercourse because the mucosal surface is prone to ulcers and infections. Women who use contraceptive rings may sometimes experience bleeding during sexual intercourse. This is because the intrauterine ring is a foreign body in the uterine cavity. Its mechanical pressure can cause local damage, necrosis and ulcers of the endometrium, and there is a possibility of bleeding. In this case, the stimulation of sexual intercourse can cause bleeding. Early symptoms of cervical cancer may also include bleeding during intercourse, which is why we should pay attention to bleeding during intercourse.

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.

What should be done to check for bleeding after sex

Bleeding during intercourse is caused by trauma to the cervical surface. Bleeding during intercourse is a common symptom for patients with cervical erosion and polyps. Cervical polyps are a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. One type of polyp has its root attached to the cervical opening or the cervical canal. It is formed by local hyperplasia of the cervical mucosa under the stimulation of inflammation and protrudes out of the external opening of the cervix. Generally speaking, women with cervical polyps do not have any discomfort symptoms. Sometimes there is increased vaginal discharge, blood in the vaginal discharge, or bleeding during intercourse. If the above conditions are found, you need to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test, a cervical scraping, and, if necessary, a cervical TCT. Once cervical polyps are discovered, they should be removed surgically.
