What causes a small amount of bleeding after sex?

A small amount of bleeding after intercourse is mostly caused by gynecological inflammation. Female friends should pay great attention to it. This is already a warning from the body, so we should go to the hospital for a detailed examination in time. A small amount of vaginal bleeding is generally caused by vaginal inflammation. According to different bleeding situations, we need to conduct a detailed medical examination in order to better prescribe the right medicine.

The main causes of bleeding during sexual intercourse are:

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.

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.

If there is pelvic inflammatory disease, there will be bleeding. Bleeding after intercourse is a very serious gynecological inflammation for women and should be treated in time. During the treatment period, the couple should avoid having sex. If necessary, the couple can go to the hospital for examination together. Because women's gynecological inflammation may be caused by the invasion of male genital bacteria, the effect of treating the couple together will be more obvious and thorough.
