Brief Answer:
avoid any sexual activity

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX I understand your worry.
Avoid having sex if you are having reddish instead of the pale old altered blood.
Take tablet tranexemic acid 500 mg thrice a day for two days.
Most probably it will subside by itself and is not serious but it can't be said conclusively without examination.
So as we say prevention is always better than cure, avoid having sex till you visit your gynecologist.
All the best.
