Hello dear
Understand your concern
Following are the causes of vaginal bleeding after intercourse:
1. Truma: Rough sex lead to mechanical trauma and lead to bleeding. It should be diagnose by vaginal examination. Use lubrication and engage more in foreplay before sex.
2. Vaginal infection: like chlamydia. gonorrhea and bacterial vaginosis can cause bleeding after intercourse. Diagnose by swab test, KOH mounting , cell culture. Treatment is metronidazole (for bacterial vaginosis) and cefrtiaxone for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Maintain hygiene by using V vaginal wash.
3. Cervical erosion, dysplasia and polyp: it can cause bleeding after sex. should be diagnosed by PAP smear.

So you have to consult the gynecologist to diagnose above causes.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
