What causes a woman to bleed after s*x?
There are many reasons why a woman may bleed after s*x. The medical name for this is "postcoital bleeding".
If you're concerned because you experience va**nal bleeding after s*x, seek advice from a GP or a s*xual health clinic (genitourinary or GUM clinic). They will ask about your medical history and assess your symptoms. They can then advise you if any treatment is needed.
Causes of bleeding after s*x
Bleeding after s*x can be a sign of a health condition:
an infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or a s*xually transmitted infection (STI), such as chlamydia
va**nal dryness (atrophic vaginitis) caused by reduced va**nal secretions after the menopause
damage to the va**na, such as tears caused by childbirth, or by dryness or friction during s*x
cervical or endometrial polyps (benign or non-cancerous growths in the womb or the lining of the cervix)
cervical ectropion (also known as cervical erosion), where there is an inflamed area on the surface of the cervix
In rare instances, bleeding after s*x can be a sign of cervical or va**nal cancer.
Tests and examinations
Depending on any other symptoms and your medical history, a GP may recommend some tests or examinations, such as:
a pregnancy test (depending on your age)
a pelvic examination (where the GP inserts 2 fingers into your va**na to feel for anything unusual)
looking at the cervix with an instrument called a speculum
If the problem is caused by va**nal dryness, they may recommend that you try using lubricating gels.
You may also be referred to a specialist, such as a gynaecologist or genitourinary specialist.
