Reason For Bleeding Ever Since Sex After Period
I had my period on the 5th of Feb and ended on the 11th. I had sex with my husband on the 12th and everything was normal but when we had sex (normal) on the 15th i noticed blood immediately after and have been bleeding ever since. today is the 20th and I'm still bleeding. some days i dont have to wear anything and others like today I need a pad or tampon. what does this mean?

Hi and welcome to health care magic.
Bleeding after sex is commonly caused by trauma due to sex.
Other causes are:
1. cervical erosions: inflammations of the cervix that cause abnormalities in the lining epithelium. They bleed whenever there is friction or trauma and hence may produce a post coital bleeding.
2. polyps: these are non cancerous growth of the cervix that are common. They too bleed on touch.
3. cancer of the cervix: very rare. It is also associated, with fouls smelling vaginal discharge.
Sometimes hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids may also produce bleeding that gets wrongfully attributed as post contact bleed.
It is best that you discuss all these issues with your gynecologist and get yourself examined to determine the cause as these are diagnosed by direct examination. Treatment will be directed towards the causes.
Hope this satisfies your query.
