Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The bleeding after an intercourse is may be due to infection such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), sexually transmitted infection (STI), vaginal dryness, damage to the vagina by friction during sex, cervical polyps and in rare instances bleeding after sex can be a sign of cervical or vaginal cancer.
I would suggest you to undergo pelvic examination and looking at the cervix with a speculum. This will helps to identify the anatomy and physiology of the pelvis.
Thank you.
