How Can I Stop The Bleeding After Sex?

I'm on the depo and I've been on it since the end of August, recently sometimes after I have sex I bleed and all the time after I masterbate no penetration just clitoral I bleed how do I stop this? I can only be on a progestin only method because my bi polar meds were making the pill less effective

Hi,

I can understand your concern for the bleeding after sex.

Even many a times it is seen that due to injury by the finger nails you can have bleeding which is quite minimal but creates anxiousness. As you are on depo preparation of progesterone so it is unlilikely to get bleeding due to withdrawal of progesterone hormone.

It can be sign of any infection near the perineal area on inside urinary tract or vagina and cervix. I suggest you to meet a gynecologist and check out for the exact nature of bleeding and rule out any infection in the local area.

Till that time avoid sexual intercourse or any finger manipulation to prevent any further secondary infection.

Take care.
