Why Am I Bleeding During And After Sex?
hello, I am having complications with sexual intrcourse. I am currently on a birth control pill, and have been sexually active with the same partner for 5 months. Only recently, in the last month or so, i have bled during and after sex. There is no pain, however I am naturally concerned. I also have what feels like tubes (maybe veins?) on either side of my pubic area that are bumpy beneath my skin.. ideas?? thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
1) Slight bleeding during or after intercourse may be due to partial hymen rupture, rough sex, blunt trauma or tissue injury, vaginal infection or dryness (lack of lubrication), hormonal imbalance etc.
Most of time, this type of bleeding stops automatically within 2-3 days without medical intervention.
2) Medicine like Tranexamic acid can be taken for 3 days to arrest bleeding temporarily. Use proper lubrication during sex.
3) Lastly, I suggest you to consult with gynecologist if bleeding continues more than 3 days. One ultrasound scan is advisable to detect uterine or cervical pathology like polyp or endometriosis etc. Do one pap smear test also.
Maintain genital hygiene properly. Wish your good health. Good luck.
