Hello,
You are having bleeding after intercourse. Bleeding after intercourse is commonly caused due to lack of lubrication, friction during sex, rough prolonged sex, cervical or vaginal infection, cervical polyp, etc. Other medical conditions that can cause bleeding post sexual intercourse are sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, chlamydia, etc.), genital sores caused by herpes, precancerous cervical spot on the pelvis, cancer of the cervix, vagina or uterus or prolapse of the pelvic organs.
You are suggested to stop using douche products in the vagina, Do not use sex toys or vibrators, it will do harm than good. Avoid sex and any other sexual activity for a couple of days. Get clinically examined by a Gynae to rule out STI's and any other pathology that may be causing you symptoms, get STD tests done. You will be treated accordingly. Stay away from addictions if any. Take care of your hygiene and wear soft cotton clothes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
