Brief Answer:
You should visit your gynecologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
bleeding after sexual intercourse may mean:
- genital infection
- injury during the sexual intercourse
- various problems of the cervix (polyps, ectropion)
- rarely cancer
Clinical examination and perhaps laboratory testing would be needed to exclude most of them. Your gynecologist should decide which diagnostic strategy is the best, after examining your vagina and cervix.
I hope I've helped!
Kind Regards!
