What causes cervical bleeding during intercourse?

Women of different ages have different physiological characteristics, and the common causes of vaginal bleeding are also different. Generally speaking, the main reasons for vaginal bleeding after intercourse are the following: 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 of the male penis head against the cervix during sexual intercourse may cause injury and 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. Cervical cancer is one of the common causes of bleeding during sexual intercourse. Most cervical cancer patients do not have any discomfort symptoms in the early stages, and bleeding during sexual intercourse may be the only symptom of early cervical cancer. Rare vaginal cancer can also cause bleeding during intercourse. Therefore, if female friends find that they have vaginal bleeding or discharge pink secretions after sexual intercourse, they should be alert and go to the hospital for medical examination as soon as possible to rule out whether they have gynecological malignant tumors such as cervical cancer.

4. Endometriosis

Some uterine endometriosis grows and develops in the cervix and appears as a purple-blue mass. If a couple encounters this kind of purple-blue disordered nodule during sexual intercourse, it will cause bleeding. The bleeding is usually small in amount and dark red in color, and couples will always experience abdominal pain after sexual intercourse.

5. Pelvic inflammatory disease

Inflammation of the pelvis can cause pelvic congestion. If the uterine wall is hematoma and edema, the hematoma endometrium may leak out after sexual intercourse, but this opportunity is very rare.

6. Damage caused by ruptured hymen

The most common is rupture of the hymen during first intercourse. This type of bleeding usually occurs during sexual intercourse. There may be pain and bleeding at that time, but the bleeding is usually very little. If the injury is not serious, the bleeding will stop quickly. However, sometimes when the rupture of the hymen happens to damage the blood vessels in that area, bleeding is more severe and requires compression to activate blood circulation, or even requiring medical treatment in the hospital.
