Bleeding During Intercourse After Stopping The Birth Control Pill. Normal Pap Smear Report

I have been on the pill for three years, I stopped for a month and went back on it. I have noticed in the past two weeks that I have been bleeding during intercourse. It s quite a bit of blood , I had my yearly a year ago and am do for another. I have had normal paps but I have a different partner that I have been having sex with for six months? I m just concerned on what could be causing this. I havent spotted in between periods either. Just during intercourse. Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for writing in.
Bleeding from the vagina either during or just after sexual intercourse is never normal and should always be checked by a doctor.

A variety of vaginal, cervical or uterine conditions can lead to bleeding from sex, such as common inflammation, various sexually transmitted diseases or abnormal growths that can include cancer. As you have normal pap smear, risk of cancer is not present, still get it done yearly.

Presence of per vaginal discharge indicate presence of infections like trichomoniasis/candidiasis. Still I would recommend you to consult doctor for diagnosis of bleeding during intercourse. Change of partners is risk factor here.
I hope this information helps you.
Best regards,
Dr. Neelam.
