Bleeding after sex

Sexual life is an important way to promote the relationship between husband and wife, and it is also an important behavior for both husband and wife to reproduce. However, many people will encounter certain problems during sexual life. For women, bleeding after sexual intercourse is the biggest problem. This problem generally indicates some gynecological diseases, such as cervical cancer, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, vaginitis, submucous uterine fibroids, etc.

Cervical cancer

Bleeding during sexual intercourse is often a dangerous sign of early cervical cancer. The amount of bleeding is not much and the color is bright red. However, if it is early-stage cervical cancer, the amount of bleeding may increase, and even blood clots may flow out. This is because the cancerous cervical cell tissue has become eroded and brittle, and the affected area has a good blood supply, so when the cervix is ​​directly hit, it will rupture and cause bleeding.

Cervical polyps

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.

Cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is the most common manifestation of chronic cervicitis. The cells in the eroded area of ​​the cervix are very easy to fall off and become thinner, so some cervical erosions may also cause bleeding during sexual intercourse, especially in patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion. Modern medical research has shown that the occurrence of cervical cancer is closely related to cervical erosion. Therefore, necessary treatment measures should be taken for cervical erosion to prevent cervical cancer.

Vaginitis

Common ones include Trichomonas vaginitis and candidal vaginitis. Due to the invasion of pathogens such as Trichomonas or fungi on the vaginal wall and cervical tissue, it manifests as severe edema. The vaginal wall of trichomoniasis may have scattered bleeding spots or strawberry-shaped protrusions, while the vaginal wall of candidal vaginitis may be erosive or have superficial ulcers. In addition, elderly women after menopause are prone to bacterial infection and senile vaginitis, which causes edema and scattered small bleeding spots on the vaginal wall and cervical surface, or ulcer formation. This type of bleeding during sexual intercourse is often accompanied by pain during sexual intercourse.

Submucous uterine fibroids

The submucosal fibroids that originally grew in the uterine cavity were pushed down by the contraction of the uterus, and the tumor pedicle was gradually elongated, and finally protruded from the cervical opening into the vagina. The thin and long lesions provide poor blood supply to the fibroids, making them susceptible to infection. When sexual intercourse occurs, the fibroids are impacted, aggravating the injury and causing bleeding.
