What Can Be The Cause For Bleeding During Sex?

I had sex with my boyfriend and we didnt use a condom and he thought he may have cum inside me so we went and got some Plan B. Also, I bled on him while we had sex and I *think* it was because my cherry finished popping. But now I am spotting and bleeding and there is skin I have never noticed before near/in my vagina. Should I be concerned?

Hello,

You are advised to avoid any type of sexual activity till you heal. Insufficient lubrication or vigorous activity / aggressive sex can cause small tears in the vaginal lining, leading to spotting or light bleeding. Sometimes due to prolonged sex the cervix or vaginal walls get irritated, especially if there was deep penetration and you were not fully aroused. The "skin" you’re noticing might be remnants of the hymen if this was your first sexual experience. It can also be vaginal swelling.

If the skin looks unusual, like a growth or tear, it could indicate trauma, a polyp, or another condition needing medical evaluation. Take care of your private area. Apply ointment Soframycin to help it heal faster. You should be fine in 3-5 days. If not, get clinically examined by a Gynae. If required you may have to get STD tests done.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
