Obviously, there are many different ways to have sex. When talking about postcoital bleeding, we are referring to bleeding that happens after sex when vaginal penetration is involved. That means <b>postcoital bleeding can happen after vaginal penetration by a penis, a dildo, a partner\u2019s finger<\/b> you get the point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\"><b>Anatomically<\/b>, the two parts of your body that can bleed from the friction or relative trauma of vaginal sex are your vagina and your cervix.<\/p>\n<h2 data-aos=\"fade-up\">Causes of Postcoital Bleeding<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">\nThe most common causes for vaginal bleeding after sex both start in the cervix, which is the narrow, tube-like end of the uterus that opens into the vagina.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">\n<b>1.\tBirth control side effect<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">One of the main perks of hormonal birth control is its ability to regulate your cycle. But \u201cany type of hormonal contraceptive can lead to spotting after intercourse,\u201d you would notice this when you start a new pill, for example; it can take a few months for your body to adjust to it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">But something else could be going on. Hormonal contraception &#8220;can occasionally cause significant atrophy, or drying up, of the vagina, and as a result intercourse can cause tearing and some bleeding,\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\"><b>2.\tInfections<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">Any type of infection can cause inflammation of vaginal tissues, making them more vulnerable to damage. These commonly include yeast infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, vaginitis, and sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\"><b>3.\tVaginal dryness<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">Dryness is among the most common causes of postcoital bleeding. When the skin is dry it becomes extremely vulnerable to damage. Mucus-producing tissues, such as those in the vagina, are especially vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\"><b>4.\tPolyps<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">Polyps are noncancerous growths. They\u2019re sometimes found on the cervix or in the endometrial lining of the uterus. A polyp dangles like a round pendant on a chain. Polyp movement can irritate the surrounding tissue and cause bleeding from small blood vessels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\"><b>5.\tVaginal tearing<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">Sex, especially vigorous sex, can cause small cuts or scrapes to the vagina. This is more likely to happen if you have vaginal dryness due to menopause, breastfeeding, or other factors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\"><b>6.\tCancer<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">Irregular vaginal bleeding, including bleeding after sex, is a common symptom of cervical or vaginal cancer. In fact, it was the symptom for which 11 percent of women diagnosed with cervical cancer first sought treatment. Postmenopausal bleeding can also be a symptom of uterine cancer.\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-aos=\"fade-up\">Preventing bleeding after sex<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">Determining how to prevent postcoital bleeding depends on what has caused bleeding for you in the past. For most women, using water- or silicone-based lubricants will help prevent bleeding caused by vaginal dryness and friction during sex. If you are using condoms, an oil-based lubricant can damage it. Water-based lubricants are recommended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">It may also help to take sex slowly, and to stop if you feel pain. Using vaginal moisturizers regularly can help keep the area moist and make you feel comfortable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">If your symptoms of postcoital bleeding are related to a medical condition, you can talk to your doctor about the best options to prevent future episodes. Take care to stick to the treatment plan recommended by your doctor.\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-aos=\"fade-up\">See Your Healthcare Provider<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">If you&#8217;re having postcoital bleeding, you may also be experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding that isn&#8217;t related to sex. Also <b>speak with a doctor if postcoital bleeding is accompanied by additional symptoms<\/b>, including:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">\u2022\tvaginal burning or itching<\/br><br \/>\n\u2022\tabnormal discharge<\/br><br \/>\n\u2022\tintense abdominal pain<\/br><br \/>\n\u2022\tnausea, vomiting, or lack of appetite<\/br><br \/>\n\u2022\tstinging or burning when urinating or during intercourse<\/br><br \/>\n\u2022\tlower back pain<\/br><br \/>\n\u2022\tunexplained fatigue and weakness<\/br><br \/>\n\u2022\theadaches or lightheadedness<\/br><br \/>\n\u2022\tabnormally pale skin<\/br><br \/>\n\u2022\tbladder or bowel symptoms<\/br>\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-aos=\"fade-up\">Summary<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-aos=\"fade-right\">Bleeding after sex is usually a symptom of another condition. Many of these, such as infections and polyps, are treatable. Occasional spotting after sex generally clears up on its own without medical care. If you\u2019re postmenopausal, promptly notify your doctor about any postcoital bleeding.<\/p>\n<h4>SPECIALIZED TREATMENTS<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"sexual-problems\"> &gt; Sexual Problems<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"male-female-low-libido\">\u00a0&gt; Male \/ Female Low Libido<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"erectile-dysfunction\">\u00a0&gt; Erectile Dysfunction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"low-sperm-count\">\u00a0&gt; Low Sperm Count<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"azoospermia\">\u00a0&gt; Azoospermia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"leucorrhoea\">\u00a0&gt; Leucorrhoea<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"enlarged-prostate\">\u00a0&gt; Enlarged Prostate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"dysuria-uti\">\u00a0&gt; Dysuria \/ UTI<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"premature-ejaculation\">\u00a0&gt; Premature Ejaculation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"impaired-ejaculation\">\u00a0&gt; Impaired Ejaculation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"retrograde-ejaculation\">\u00a0&gt; Retrograde Ejaculation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"nocturnal-emissions\">\u00a0&gt; Nocturnal Emissions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"spermatorrhoea\">\u00a0&gt; Spermatorrhoea<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"genital-herpes\">\u00a0&gt; Genital Herpes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"syphilis\">\u00a0&gt; Syphilis<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"gonorrhea\">\u00a0&gt; Gonorrhea<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"chlamydia\">\u00a0&gt; Chlamydia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"genital-warts\">\u00a0&gt; Genital Warts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"asthma-cough\">\u00a0&gt; Asthma \/ Cough<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"dyspepsia-indigestion\">\u00a0&gt; Dyspepsia \/ Indigestion<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"pimples-acne\">\u00a0&gt; Pimples \/ Acne<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"obesity\">\u00a0&gt; Obesity<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"irregular-periods\">\u00a0&gt; Irregular Periods<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><b>Sexual Problems :<\/b> Whether they manifest as physical or emotional can detract from the sexual experience and create tension between couples.
