What is the cause of blood during sexual intercourse?

Many men or women will encounter various problems when it comes to intercourse or sexual life. Many couples are troubled and have symptoms of bleeding after sexual intercourse. The occurrence of this phenomenon is related to many factors. If it is not treated properly, it will cause great harm to the bodies of men and women, so it should be taken seriously. So what is the reason for blood after sexual intercourse between couples?

1. Hymen damage

The most common is rupture of the hymen during first sexual intercourse. This bleeding usually occurs during intercourse. There may be pain and bleeding at the time, but the amount of bleeding is usually not much. If the injury is not serious, the bleeding will stop soon.

2. Vaginal laceration

Vaginal bleeding is found during or after intercourse and the amount of bleeding is heavy, difficult to stop on its own, and lasts for a long time. Vaginal lacerations often occur during involuntary or very rough intercourse. Vaginal laceration is also seen in vaginal malformations, such as vaginal septum, transverse septum, double vagina, vaginal stenosis, etc.

3. Cervical polyps

Chronic inflammation may cause cervical polyps due to long-term stimulation of the cervix. Polyps are fragile and tender, and will bleed if touched, so bleeding may occur after sexual intercourse.

4. Cervical cancer

Bleeding after sexual intercourse is the earliest symptom. Because there are more small blood vessels and more fragile tissues in the cancer lesions, the capillaries will rupture and bleed due to damage after sexual intercourse. If the cancer grows further, it will bleed more easily.

5. Endometriosis

Some endometriosis grows on the cervix and appears as blue-purple nodules. If this blue-purple ectopic nodule is touched during sexual intercourse, it will cause bleeding. The amount of bleeding is generally small and dark red, and abdominal pain often occurs after intercourse.

6. Pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammation can cause pelvic congestion. If the endometrium is congested and edematous, sex may cause the congested endometrium to release hormones, but this opportunity is rare.
