Bleeding after sex

Sex life is one of the activities that people attach the most importance to, and it is also the most natural physiological need of human beings. Although sex life makes people happy, many people also encounter some very disharmonious problems during sex, which greatly weakens their interest, etc. For example, why do some women bleed after having sex? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

Female sexual intercourse bleeding refers to local bleeding in the vagina or external genitalia during or after sexual intercourse. Generally, the amount of bleeding is not large, and only a very small number can cause heavy bleeding. If a woman bleeds during sexual intercourse, the first thing to do is to find out the cause of the bleeding during sexual intercourse.

Bleeding during sexual intercourse is a common symptom of gynecological diseases, mainly due to the following reasons:

1. Cervicitis (erosion). 90% of married women suffer from cervicitis. Cervicitis is divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe according to the degree of cervical erosion. For patients with moderate or severe cervical erosion, the rubbing of the cervix by the glans of the male's penis during sexual intercourse may cause injury and bleeding. Because the amount of bleeding is small, it does not flow out immediately but accumulates in the vagina, and the color of the blood changes from fresh to old. Therefore, when the blood flows out the next day, it is dark red.

2. Cervical polyps. Chronic inflammation may cause cervical polyps due to long-term stimulation of the cervix. Single or multiple small pedunculated granulation tissues grow at the cervical opening, looking like bean buds, and the larger ones are as big as a finger. Polyps are fragile and tender, and will bleed if touched, so bleeding may occur after sexual intercourse. This bleeding is usually bright red.

3. Cervical cancer. Bleeding after sexual intercourse is the earliest symptom. Because there are more small blood vessels and the tissues are more fragile in the cancer lesions, the capillaries will rupture and bleed due to damage after each sexual intercourse. If the cancer grows further, it will bleed more easily.

4. Endometriosis. Some endometriosis grows on the cervix and appears as blue-purple nodules. If this blue-purple ectopic nodule is touched during sexual intercourse, it will cause bleeding. The amount of bleeding is generally small and dark red, and abdominal pain often occurs after intercourse.
