Undiagnosed STI
Bleeding after intercourse is often due to STI in women. The inflammation of your cervix causes the blood vessels there to swell. Every time you start to grind, they are more prone to being burst. If you think you might have an STI, head to your GP or nearest sexual health clinic to get tested.Dryness
Dryness and excessive friction can also cause bleeding. Vaginal dryness can occur for a number of reasons. It could also be because of menopause. Make sure you use the right amount of lubrication to get rid of it.Ectropion Bleed
It may sound scary but ectropion bleeds, also known as cervical erosion, is a real condition. It occurs more commonly in young women. It happens when the area of fine blood vessels at the entrance of the cervix is more easily agitated. It is nothing to worry about if it’s a one-off. However, if it occurs regularly, it shouldn’t be ignored.Endometriosis
Endometriosis is where cells, like the ones in the lining of the womb, are found elsewhere in the body. If these cells deposit on the cervix or within the vagina, it can trigger bleeding after sex. It is, however, rare.Symptom of Cervical Cancer
While it is not a common reason but it is always important to be on the alert for symptoms of vaginal, uterine and cervical cancer. More persistent or heavier bleeding may indicate pre-cancerous or cancerous changes. Therefore it is essential that you contact your GP and do the needful tests.
