Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain And Vaginal Pain
Hello. Recently my boyfriend and I have been having a lot of sex more often than usual. We took a break for about a week after I experienced pain towards the back like the end of the inside of my vagina (I think I m referring to the cervix). Today we had sex again and the first time everything was fine. I apologize in advance for being graphic but maybe 10 minutes later we did it again but in a different position where the penetration was a lot deeper and once we were done there was a lot of blood. I wasn t on my period nor did I experience any pain during sex. My boyfriend and I were covered in blood. I m just wondering what might be the reason for this. I have very normal periods I don t experience any other problems with sex or anything like that so I m very concerned with what this might be. Please give me some answers and what I can do to help the problem whatever it is.

Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
Believe it or not, it is actually possible to injure your vagina from frequent intercourse. You can develop cuts or scrapes on your cervix or vagina that can bleed very heavily as area has a lot of vascular flow, especially during arousal. You may have been bruised in the back of your vagina the last time, but now there is a possibility that you actually may have lacerated or cut yourself.
If the bleeding has stopped then at this point all I would recommend is not resuming intercourse until you have an evaluation at a gynecologist office. If you are continuing to bleed heavily, especially, if there is bright red blood, you may need to go to an emergency room as sometimes these types of injuries to the vagina require stitches for control.
Regardless of what happens, I recommend that you and your boyfriend abstain from intercourse or other vaginal penetration (and do not use tampons for the bleeding either) for at least two weeks after this episode. You also should avoid heavy high impact exercise. Your vagina needs time to heal. Also you have to remember that your vagina is only 10cm deep on the average, so with force, penetration beyond this depth can genuinely cause injury.
I hope I was able to adequately answer your question, and that this advice was helpful.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
