Vaginal bleeding: beware of six gynecological diseases

1. Abnormal development of the cervix

Cervical dysplasia is a sign of cervical epithelial cell cancer and can cause vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse.

2. Viral infection

Viral infections are usually spread through sexual intercourse, and transmission through sperm, vaginal fluids, or blood can also cause vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse.

3. Sexually transmitted diseases

STDs caused by viruses can also cause vaginal bleeding after sex!

4. Gynecological inflammation

Gynecological inflammation may cause not only abnormal leucorrhea, but also vaginal bleeding. Inflammation of the vagina or cervix, tumors, or viral infections can cause vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse.

5. Cervical polyps

A cervical polyp is a hairless, red or purple, finger-shaped growth on the endocervix, or lining of the cervix. Cervical polyps are very fragile and protrude from the cervix. They can be easily and painlessly removed and are one of the causes of vaginal bleeding.

6. Endometritis

Endometritis is an infection of the lining of the uterus. When the endometrium overgrows, it can push into the uterus and cause uterine polyps. Women with uterine polyps often experience vaginal bleeding between periods. Other symptoms include: vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, heavy menstrual bleeding, bleeding after menopause, and bleeding while taking hormonal medications.
