What causes cervical bleeding after sex?

Vaginal bleeding occurs after a couple has sex. This situation is clinically called contact bleeding. It is characterized by a small amount of bleeding, which is light red or brown in color. Generally, bleeding may occur just after menstruation ends or after sexual intercourse. However, few people know what causes bleeding after sex between couples. So, let me give you some detailed introduction on these aspects.

What causes bleeding after sex?

There are many reasons for bleeding during intercourse, which can be roughly divided into two categories: improper intercourse and local organic lesions of the female reproductive system, with the latter being more common.

Bleeding during intercourse is often a common manifestation of certain gynecological diseases. If the bleeding during sexual intercourse is caused by local organic lesions of the female external genitalia, the bleeding during sexual intercourse can be cured by curing the local lesions. If bleeding during sexual intercourse is caused by vulvar ulcers, vulvar eczema, or vulvar herpes, antibiotics should be used first to eliminate the inflammation, and the eczema and herpes should be cured, and the bleeding during sexual intercourse will heal naturally.

Another situation of bleeding after intercourse is an early indicative symptom of cervical cancer and should not be taken lightly. Due to the infiltration of cancer cells, cervical cancer tissue becomes fragile and often causes contact bleeding during sexual intercourse. The urethra and vagina are adjacent to each other. When the urethra is inflamed, the urethra is easily squeezed and injured during intercourse, causing bleeding.

Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. It occurs frequently in women aged 30 to 50 years old and is closely related to factors such as reproductive tract viral infection and long-term inflammation. It is recommended that women undergo relevant examinations regularly. Generally speaking, it is best for women over 30 to have a check-up once a year, and for those over 40 to have a check-up every six months. If any abnormal symptoms are found, they should seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment.

Precautions for bleeding after sex

If the bleeding is caused by improper sexual intercourse, you can change to a more appropriate sexual intercourse method and position. Women should relax mentally, not be nervous or depressed, and eliminate unnecessary worries. Men should do sufficient caressing and other preparations to arouse women's excitement. Be gentle during sex and avoid being rough. Sexual life should be moderated appropriately, and women should refrain from having sex during menstruation. Women over 40 years old who experience bleeding during sexual intercourse should be alert to the possibility of malignant genital lesions.

Finally, the editor needs to remind all women that once women find vaginal bleeding after intercourse and it does not get relieved for a long time and is accompanied by physical abnormalities, they should go to the hospital to seek medical help to check whether the bleeding after intercourse is abnormal.
