Hello,
Bleeding after intercourse, also known as postcoital bleeding, can have several possible causes. In your case, the bleeding may be related to the trauma caused by the penis hitting just below the vaginal opening, resulting in
lacerations or cuts in the vaginal tissues. These cuts can cause bleeding and pain, and may take some time to heal.
It is important to avoid sexual intercourse until the cuts have healed completely to prevent further trauma and bleeding. You may also find it helpful to use a warm compress or take over-the-counter pain medications to relieve pain and discomfort. You may find vaginal cream containing
hyaluronic acid helpful in the recovery process.
If the bleeding persists or becomes more severe, or if you experience any other symptoms such as pain, discharge, or
fever, it is important to seek medical attention right away. Your healthcare provider can perform a pelvic exam and other tests to determine the underlying cause of the bleeding and recommend appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
