What is the root cause of bleeding during sexual intercourse?

The phenomenon of bleeding after sex makes many women worried and distressed, because we all know that inexplicable bleeding may indicate that your body has been harmed by some gynecological diseases, so everyone needs to know the cause so that they can solve it in a targeted manner and avoid some adverse effects and hazards as much as possible.

Vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse is often caused by diseases such as vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical cancer, endometriosis, etc. It is recommended that you undergo routine gynecological examinations and colposcopy and other related examinations to identify the cause so that you can actively treat it.

Bleeding after sexual intercourse should not be taken lightly, as it is a common manifestation of gynecological diseases with excessive blood. Common ones include:

Cervical cancer - Bleeding during sexual intercourse is often a dangerous sign of early cervical cancer. The amount of bleeding is not much and the color is bright red. However, if it is early cervical cancer, the amount of bleeding may increase, and even blood clots may flow out. This is because the cancerous cervical cell tissue has eroded and become brittle, and the blood supply to the lesion site is good, so when the cervix is ​​directly hit, it will rupture and cause bleeding.

Cervical polyps - Cervical polyps are mostly tongue-shaped, about the size of a sunflower seed, often protruding outside the cervical opening, singly or multiple, soft and bright red. The top of the polyp has loose tissue and rich blood vessels. When some polyps become edematous, gangrenous and infected, their appearance is similar to that of early cervical cancer and can easily cause bleeding during sexual intercourse. Cervical polyps are generally benign lesions and rarely become malignant. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of cervical polyps cannot be ignored.

Cervical erosion - Cervical erosion is the most common manifestation of chronic cervicitis. The cells in the cervical erosion area are very easy to fall off and become thinner, so some cervical erosions may also cause bleeding during sexual intercourse, especially for patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion. Modern medical research has shown that the occurrence of cervical cancer is closely related to cervical erosion, so necessary treatment measures should be taken for cervical erosion to prevent cervical cancer.

Paying attention to the common sense introduced above is the fundamental way to solve the impact and harm caused by ineffective sex. Therefore, women should also observe their reproductive health after sex to see if there are any abnormal problems. If they really don’t understand the cause, they can go to the hospital for examination in time.
