What happens when you bleed during intercourse after your period?

Generally speaking, vaginal bleeding will not occur during normal sexual life. However, if the bleeding is not caused by improper posture or movement, it is necessary to consider that the bleeding is caused by some pathological disease. Let’s introduce it below.

Vaginal bleeding after intercourse is common in the following situations:

1. Caused by damage to the wound surface of the uterine cavity: When a woman's menstruation has just ended, there are still some broken blood vessels and glandular ducts in the wound surface of the uterine cavity. There is bleeding in the tiny blood vessels, and the new endometrium has just begun to grow, indicating that there is no epithelial coverage yet. Although the wound has stopped bleeding at this time, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired. If a couple engages in sexual intercourse at this time, the stimulation of the mechanical system will damage the wound surface that has not yet been fully regenerated and repaired, thus causing bleeding.

2. Caused by vaginal injury: Bleeding during and after sexual intercourse, the amount of bleeding is large, and there is bleeding for a long time. You should consider the possibility of vaginal laceration. Vaginal lacerations often occur during involuntary sexual intercourse or very rough sexual intercourse, and can also be seen in some cases of vaginal deformities.

3. Caused by genital tract inflammation: genital tract inflammation such as cervicitis, vaginitis, endometritis, etc. are common causes of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse.

4. Caused by tumor: Bleeding after sexual intercourse is one of the danger signs of cervical cancer and the only reliable symptom for early detection of cervical cancer. The amount of bleeding caused by uterine cancer is not much, and is bright red, or there may be blood in the leucorrhea. This is because the cervical tissue becomes brittle after cancer. Once the cervix is ​​directly hit, the tissue will be damaged and bleed.
