Every time you bleed during sex, it may be a health concern that needs attention. There are many possible causes of bleeding, and here are some common possibilities and suggested treatments:
1. Physiological causes
Vaginal dryness: Lack of adequate lubrication may cause friction and bleeding. Using an appropriate lubricant can help reduce friction.
Menstruation: If bleeding occurs during or near your period, it may be part of your menstrual blood flow.
2. Medical conditions
Vaginal infection or inflammation: Vaginal infection (such as vaginitis) or inflammation in the vagina may cause bleeding. See a doctor for examination and treatment.
Cervical problems: Problems such as cervical erosion, cervicitis, or cervical polyps may cause bleeding after sex. Regular gynecological examinations can help diagnose and treat these problems.
Uterine problems: Uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or other uterine problems may also cause bleeding after sex. A medical examination is needed to determine the cause.
3. Hormonal problems
Hormonal fluctuations: Changes in hormone levels (such as from birth control pills or hormone therapy) may affect vaginal health and cause bleeding.
4. Sexual behavior
Rough or intense sex: Overly intense sex may cause tiny tears in vaginal tissue, leading to bleeding. Adjusting the intensity and position of sex may help.
First intercourse: Slight bleeding may occur during first intercourse or when the hymen is lost. This is normal, but if bleeding occurs every time you have intercourse, you should be careful.
5. Other factors
Drug side effects: Certain drugs (such as anticoagulants) may cause bleeding. Please consult your doctor about drug side effects.
Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD): Women who use intrauterine contraceptive devices may experience bleeding. Discuss with your doctor whether you need to adjust your contraceptive method.
Recommended treatment methods
1. See a doctor for examination: If you bleed after every intercourse, it is recommended to see a doctor for a comprehensive examination in time. The doctor can determine the specific cause through physical examination, ultrasound, cervical smear and other examinations.
2. Record symptoms: Recording the time, amount, duration and other related symptoms of bleeding will help the doctor diagnose.
3. Avoid violent behavior: Avoid violent sexual behavior or use lubricants to reduce friction until the problem is resolved.
4. Communication and support: Communicate your health problems with your partner and seek their understanding and support.
