Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

Bleeding after sex in someone in their 40s can be caused by a variety of reasons. This can include a polyp (usually benign) that is attached to your cervix that got irritated by intercourse. Sometimes women in their 40s can have spotting or light irregular bleeding from inconsistent levels of their hormones.

I think it would be worthwhile to see your doctor for a pelvic exam to get an idea of what is going on.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information or clarification.
