Is Slight Bleeding After Sexual Intercourse Normal?

I am concerned as I have been bleeding after sexual intercourse. It is literally only a drop and that's it. It just started about 2 weeks ago as I have only been having intercourse with one person for the last few months. I am 23 years old and have never had this before in my entire life. I go for yearly pap smears where they test for STD's and they are always negative. What is wrong with me?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:

1) Slight bleeding during or after intercourse may be due to partial hymen rupture, rough sex, blunt trauma, vaginal infection or dryness (lack of lubrication).

Most of time, this type of bleeding stops automatically within 2-3 days without medical intervention.

2) Use proper lubrication during sex and maintain genital hygiene. Medicine like Tranexamic acid can be taken for 3 days to arrest bleeding temporarily.

3) Lastly, I suggest you to consult with gynecologist if bleeding continues more than 3 days. One ultrasound scan is advisable to detect uterine or cervical pathology (if any). Do one pap smear test also.

Maintain genital hygiene properly. Wish your good health. Good luck.

For future query, you can directly approach me through
