Can Dryness During Sexual Intercourse Lead To Spotting?
I am in post menopause and had not had sex in 5 months. I had sex on Saturday and noticed slight spotting beginning on Monday. It's not enough to soil my underwear however it's there. It has been going on since Monday. During intercourse I was very dry and did not use a lubricant. Could this be the cause of my problem?
