Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
It is not normal to bleed during and after sex.
Bleeding usually happens when the tissues are fragile. Possibilities are infection or some form of growth. Possibility of menstruation also needs to be considered.
Presuming you are not menstruating, the symptoms is concerning. It warrants a careful clinical examination. Tests for genitourinary infection such as complete blood count, urine routine / microscopy, colposcopy and Pap smear are entailed.
It would be wise to avoid further sexual intercourse until the cause of bleeding is clear.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good health
Regards
