What is the reason for bleeding when having sex with my husband?

If the bleeding during the first sexual intercourse is caused by rupture of the hymen, it is normal. If bleeding occurs frequently, further examination is required. So, what is the reason for bleeding during intercourse? What is the reason for bleeding during intercourse with your husband? The physiological characteristics of women of different ages are different, and the common causes of vaginal bleeding are also different. So, what is the reason for bleeding during intercourse? Let's look at the reasons below.

1. The hymen is broken and damaged. 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 position, the bleeding is more severe and requires compression to activate the blood circulation (such as using clean cotton wool or gauze, clean cotton towel, etc.), or even go to the hospital for medical treatment.

2. Vaginal laceration. During or after sexual intercourse, vaginal bleeding occurs and the bleeding is heavy, difficult to stop on its own, and lasts for a long time. Vaginal lacerations often occur during non-consensual sexual intercourse or very rough sexual methods. Vaginal lacerations are also common in vaginal malformations, such as vaginal septum, transverse septum, double vagina, and vaginal stenosis. In the past, after vaginal plastic surgery, hymen repair, vaginal tumor removal surgery and hysterectomy, when the vaginal wounds are not healed well, sexual life is also very likely to cause damage. Improper sexual posture and location can also cause vaginal injury and bleeding. The amount of bleeding is related to the location and level of the injury.

3. Vaginitis. Common vaginitis includes candidal vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, and senile vaginitis. Vaginitis generally presents with symptoms of vulvar itching and excessive leucorrhea, usually with vaginal mucosal edema, hematoma or ulceration. During sexual intercourse, the vagina will be irritated and pink secretions will be discharged, and there will also be a burning sensation in the vagina. Therefore, sexual intercourse is not allowed during the vaginitis period.

4. Cervicitis. It is still relatively common for women of childbearing age to suffer from chronic cervicitis such as cervical erosion and cervical polyps. Mild cervical erosion will not cause bleeding after sexual intercourse. If bleeding occurs after sexual intercourse, you should consider the possibility of severe cervical erosion or large and numerous cervical polyps, or the possibility of lesions, and you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Bleeding during intercourse may also usually occur in subacute cervicitis, and you also need to go to the hospital for immediate medical examination.

Generally speaking, there are many reasons for bleeding during intercourse. It may be caused by vaginal wall abrasion or gynecological disease, but cervical disease is the most common cause. At this time, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up, so that you can feel more at ease and prevent the invasion of gynecological diseases.
