What Causes Vaginal Bleeding Post Clitoral Stimulation During Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Mon, 11 May 2015
Question: My wife is about 7 weeks pregnant. Last night we had clitoral stimulation and no penetrating sex. Later we notice bleeding. The bleeding however is not continuous. There is no period like cramps or pain. Is this normal? Should I be concern about it? Blood is red not brownish. She doesn't have any bleeding or spot before this.

Brief Answer:
This may not be normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting us about your health care.

I can understand your concern here.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

In my opinion bleeding after orgasm needs evaluation means you should consult your treating doctor and get yourself examined and ultrasound scan should be done to see whether foetus in normal or not.

Bleeding after orgasm can be due to increased vascularity of cervix during pregnancy.

As in your case you bleed once and there is no cramps and other symptoms, so I hope everything would be fine.

Hope it is usefu, feel free to ask more questions.

Good luck.

Regards

Does the color of the bleeding which was initially dark red and later bright red,has any significance? Can it be an early sign of miscarriage? Why there is no bleeding before and happen only now after orgasm. Except for a bit of stress (am not sure of the proper word) around the waist there is no other issue. The stress I mentioned is something like the stress we felt when we sit in a single position for too long, or if we are doing something bending down too long.. Otherwise every thing seems normal.. Ultrasound will not happen before tomorrow., hence need some reassurance till then..

Brief Answer:
It can be a early sign of misscarriage.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Sorry to say but bleeding after orgasm may be an early sign of misscarriage or it can be due to bleeding from placenta( low lying).

It is quite early to comment on it without her ultrasound scan because sometimes bleeding can be a normal finding during early pregnancy.

Color is not play a very important role but if bleeding persistent and associated with other symptoms it can be a cause of concern.

Bright red color signifies a new or fresh blood.

Usually after orgasm uterus contract and bleeding occurs due to pressure on blood vessels.

So please do not take any stress and keep the fingers crossed and wait till her ultrasound report come.

With God grace maybe everything will be fine.

Waiting a good news from you.

Good luck.

Regards
