What Does Vaginal Bleeding After Intercourse Indicate?

I was taking microgynon pill and after a few months I noticed bleeding after sex. This started to get bad so I went to the doctor was told I had a cervical ectropion. I went back a few months later and asked if changing pill would help, my doctor changed me to cerazette but it hasn t helped and I am having a lot of irregular bleeding. Will coming off the pill help treat the cervical ectropion or am I stuck with the symptoms forever now

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
There are many reasons why a woman may bleed after sex. The medical name for this is "postcoital bleeding". Most common are an infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as chlamydia then vaginal dryness (atrophic vaginitis) caused by reduced vaginal secretions after the menopause, damage to the vagina, such as tears caused by childbirth, or by dryness or friction during sex or cervical or endometrial polyps (benign or non-cancerous growths in the womb or the lining of the cervix). If the problem is caused by vaginal dryness, they may recommend that you try using lubricating gels. For other treatments it would be necessary to see gynecologist and estanlish the right cause first.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
