What causes bleeding after sex?

Many people will wonder what causes bleeding after sexual intercourse. This symptom is mainly caused by ruptured blood vessels in the vaginal lining, causing blood to flow out of the blood vessels. In this case, the amount of bleeding is generally not large and can stop on its own. Sometimes there may be special circumstances where the amount of bleeding is heavy and difficult to stop. This may be due to a rupture of a larger blood vessel. This symptom is also likely to occur when suffering from cervical erosion.

Vaginal hypoplasia, narrow or deformed vagina, if the sexual intercourse is rough, it will cause laceration of the vaginal wall or posterior fornix, resulting in vaginal bleeding during intercourse. Organic lesions in the female reproductive tract often lead to bleeding during sexual intercourse. For example, vulvar ulcers can cause friction on the ulcer surface during sexual intercourse, causing pain and bleeding. Vaginitis is caused by the massive shedding of the vaginal epithelium and congestion of the vaginal mucosa. During sexual intercourse, the penis thrusts and rubs in the vagina, causing damage, rupture and bleeding of the vaginal mucosa. The urethral caruncle grows at the female urethral opening. Because of its brittle texture, the slightest touch during sexual intercourse can cause bleeding. Cervical erosion is caused by the exfoliation of the epithelium around the external os of the cervix, which exposes the fragile subcutaneous tissue and forms an eroded surface. During sexual intercourse, the impact of the penis causes bleeding. Due to the infiltration of cancer cells, cervical cancer tissue becomes fragile and often causes contact bleeding during sexual intercourse. The urethra and vagina are adjacent to each other. When the urethra is inflamed, it is easily squeezed and injured during sexual intercourse, causing bleeding.

In short, there are many reasons for female bleeding during sexual intercourse, which can be roughly divided into two categories: improper sexual intercourse and local organic lesions of the female reproductive system, with the latter being more common.

In either case, timely examination and treatment are required.

Cervical polyps are mostly tongue-shaped, about the size of a sunflower seed, often protruding outside the cervical opening. They can be single or multiple in number, soft in texture, and bright red in color. The top of the polyp has loose tissue and rich blood vessels. When some polyps become edematous, gangrenous, and infected, their appearance may be similar to that of early cervical cancer and may easily cause bleeding during sexual intercourse.

Cervical polyps are generally benign lesions and rarely become malignant. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of cervical polyps cannot be ignored. There are many reasons for bleeding after sexual intercourse. Considering the possibility of gynecological inflammation, please go to the hospital for examination in time.
