Are Light Bleeding And Blood Clots Normal After Intercourse?
Question: I had sex for first time early Sunday morning. I bled for like an hour after my hymen broke. The rest of Sunday and Monday I just had light bleeding. This morning when I woke up I had bled a lot and there was a large blood clot. Is this normal?
Brief Answer:
If the bleeding is slight now, then you need not worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
Bleeding after the hymen breaks is normal. Since the bleeding was light on Sunday and Monday, I do not think that there is deep abrasion.
The clot must have been old collected blood.
Are you still bleeding significantly ( changing pad every 2-3 hours). If so then it is not normal and you need to see a doctor.
If you are bleeding slightly now, then you need not worry. This is normal. Avoid intercourse for 5-7 days to allow healing.
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
