A small amount of pink bleeding after sex

Some women experience vaginal bleeding after intercourse. There are many reasons why this condition may occur, such as uterine polyps. If you experience pain during intercourse, it is recommended that you go to a gynecological hospital for a check-up. It is best to have an ultrasound examination to determine whether there are any abnormal conditions such as polyps or erosion in the cervix or uterus. If it is inflammation, it is best for both husband and wife to be treated at the same time.

Uterine polyp (metropolypus) is a common gynecological disease. In a broad sense, it refers to all tumors attached to the uterine wall by slender pedicles, including endometrial polyps, endometrial adenomyoma polyps, malignant polyps, etc. Most of them are benign and may have no obvious clinical symptoms, or they may cause increased menstruation, abnormal leucorrhea, vaginal bleeding, uterine enlargement, pain, etc. Hysteroscopic examination shows that polyps vary in size and pedicle length, which is a common intrauterine lesion in gynecology. Among them, endometrial polyps are the most common.

Early symptoms include:

1. Tumor prolapse

If polyps occur in unmarried young women, such patients may show symptoms of prolapse of a swelling at the vaginal opening.

2. Abnormal leucorrhea

Patients may experience increased leucorrhea and bloody leucorrhea. A small number of polyps with larger pedicles may protrude from the cervix, causing a small amount of vaginal bleeding, or bleeding after sexual intercourse and when squatting and straining to defecate. If the polyps become ulcerated, infected, or necrotic, bloody or purulent leucorrhea may occur.

3. Abnormal uterine bleeding

Patients may experience excessive menstruation, shortened or prolonged menstrual periods, or prolonged menstruation. Some patients will also bleed after sexual intercourse, the amount of bleeding in some patients is even similar to menstruation, and some patients may also experience postmenopausal vaginal bleeding.

4. Infertility and miscarriage

Some patients with uterine polyps experience infertility or miscarriage, which is related to the location, size and number of the polyps. If polyps grow in the cervical canal, they may hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity; if they grow in the uterine cavity, they will hinder the implantation of the fertilized egg or affect the development of the embryo, leading to infertility and miscarriage.
