What causes bleeding during sexual intercourse in women?

Female sexual intercourse bleeding refers to local bleeding in the vagina or external genitalia during or after sexual intercourse. Generally, the amount of bleeding is not large. So what is female sexual intercourse bleeding? 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. Well, next, let’s understand the specific causes of female sexual intercourse bleeding and how to relieve and treat it.

The causes of bleeding during sexual intercourse in women are as follows:

1. In elderly women, due to gonadal atrophy, the secretion of sex hormones decreases, the vagina atrophies, the vaginal epithelium becomes fragile, the tissue becomes fibrotic and lacks elasticity, the vaginal exudate becomes less and becomes dry, and rough movements, forced insertion, and improper sexual intercourse during intercourse can also cause vaginal injury, rupture of blood vessels and bleeding.

2. Organic lesions in the female reproductive tract can often lead to bleeding during sexual intercourse. For example, vulvar ulcers can cause friction on the ulcer surface during sexual intercourse, causing pain and bleeding. Vaginitis is caused by the massive shedding of the vaginal epithelium and congestion of the vaginal mucosa. During sexual intercourse, the penis thrusts and rubs in the vagina, causing damage, rupture and bleeding of the vaginal mucosa. The urethral caruncle grows at the female urethral opening. Because of its brittle texture, the slightest touch during sexual intercourse can cause bleeding.

Cervical erosion is caused by the exfoliation of the epithelium around the external os of the cervix, which exposes the fragile subcutaneous tissue and forms an eroded surface. During sexual intercourse, the impact of the penis causes bleeding. Due to the infiltration of cancer cells, cervical cancer tissue becomes fragile and often causes contact bleeding during sexual intercourse. The urethra and vagina are adjacent to each other. When the urethra is inflamed, it is easily squeezed and injured during sexual intercourse, causing bleeding.

3. Most of the bleeding during female sexual intercourse is caused by organic diseases of the reproductive system, and only a few are caused by rough movements of men or improper sexual intercourse. The first night of marriage; the first sexual intercourse, bleeding due to rupture and damage of the hymen, generally the amount of bleeding is small, only a few people have thick hymen, and the man's movements are too rough, which can cause more bleeding.

4. For pregnant women, during the first and last three months of pregnancy, sexual intercourse stimulates the cervix, causing violent contractions of the uterus and bleeding during sexual intercourse. A small number of women even suffer miscarriage or premature birth as a result. Special attention should be paid.

5. Vaginal hypoplasia, narrow or deformed vagina. Rough movements during sexual intercourse may cause lacerations of the vaginal wall or posterior fornix, resulting in vaginal bleeding.
