General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Bleeding after intercourse could happen due to following reasons:
1. Vaginal mucosal injuries due to mechanical forces as a result of improper lubrication.
2. Presence of membrane remnants of hymen, which could be damaged
3. Presence of uterine or cervical polyp.
4. Presence of inflammation of cervix called 'cervicitis'.
If it is caused due to mucosal injury and/or remnants of hymen, then such bleeding should stop by 2 to 3 days.
If the bleeding still continues, you need to be examined by per speculum examination by consulting Gynecologist to look for what could be the cause, so that it can be managed accordingly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran.S.,
