Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I'm Esmeralda. A month ago I had sex with my boyfriend with and without protection. We are both very healthy. I know I'm not pregnant because I got my period. But after we had sex, every time he touches me down there, I start to bleed. Also when I'm showering and get down there, it also bleeds (sometimes). It doesn't hurt, it doesn't bother me. I'm really worried. Help.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.. Most common cause of vaginal bleeding or light spotting after having sex is bleeding from cervix ( the lower part of uterus). Cervix has high blood supply & Even when cervix is healthy, enough friction during vigorous sex can cause some bleeding. This mostly occurs when you have vaginal dryness or less vaginal lubrication. You should use lubricant during sex to prevent this in future. Vaginal moisturizers give long term relief from vaginal dryness However as bleeding has occured on multiple occasion, it could be because of some abnormality in cervix. In case of cervix abnormality, even gentle sex in presence of enough vaginal lubrication could cause bleeding. Therefore you are advised to consult a gynaecologist & a pap smear test should be done to rule-out cervix problem.
Refer to a gynaecologist. Hope this information helps
