What Could Bloating, Headache And Spotting Post Intercourse Indicate?
I had sex with my newly wed husband last night and a day after I feel bloated with head ache and had a few drops of blood the next morning. Do you know what could be the cause of this? Also it s been 2 years since I ve had sex with anyone (celibacy) until last night.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Bloating is a symptom seen in second part of the menstrual cycle under the influence of progesterone.
You need to observe your menstrual cycle for couple fo months for any abnormality or irregularity.
Sexual activity can be followed by bleeding if the activity is for the first time or after a very long time.
You may take symptomatic treatment for headache e.g. painkiller.
Thanks and take care
