What causes bleeding during sex?

Vaginal bleeding is a common condition among women of childbearing age. The physiological characteristics of women of different ages are different, and the common causes of vaginal bleeding during sexual intercourse are also different. Many women usually feel at a loss when faced with this kind of situation. From this perspective, understanding the causes of bleeding during sexual intercourse is also very important for female friends.

Generally speaking, the key reasons for vaginal bleeding during sexual intercourse are as follows:

1. Exogenous reproductive system damage

1. The hymen is broken and damaged. The most common is the rupture of the hymen during the first sexual intercourse. This type of bleeding usually occurs during sexual intercourse. In this case, bleeding during sexual intercourse will be accompanied by pain, and the bleeding is generally not excessive. In this case, if the injury is not serious, the bleeding will be suppressed to a certain extent soon. However, sometimes when the hymen ruptures, the blood vessels in the relevant area are damaged, and bleeding will increase to a certain extent.

2. Vaginal tear

If the bleeding during sexual intercourse is heavy and difficult to stop, it may be considered whether it is caused by vaginal tearing. Vaginal tears usually occur during non-forced sexual intercourse or very rough sexual intercourse. In addition to this situation, vaginal plastic surgery, hymen repair, female vaginal tumor removal surgery and hysterectomy can also cause harm if sexual intercourse is not properly healed in the vaginal wound. In addition, improper sexual posture and location can also cause vaginal damage and bleeding. Bleeding is related to the location and level of the lesion.

2. Inflammation of the reproductive system

1. Cervical polyps

Cervical polyp refers to one or more small pedunculated granulation tissues that appear on the cervix. The polyps are crisp in color and are prone to bleeding when touched during sexual intercourse.

2. Cervical cancer

Bleeding during sexual intercourse is also one of the earliest symptoms of cervical cancer. Because there are many small blood vessels and weak tissues in the lesions, the blood vessels will rupture after damage, so sexual intercourse in the case of cervical cancer is also prone to bleeding. As the cancer progresses, it will bleed more easily.

There are many reasons for female bleeding during sexual intercourse, which can be roughly divided into two categories: exogenous reproductive system damage and reproductive system inflammation. For female friends, don't panic after vaginal bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy and accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause of the bleeding, eliminate the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer, and receive timely treatment according to the condition.
