Question
Hello doctor,
A few days ago, I had sex with my husband, was close for a few seconds, then I had vaginal bleeding. At first there is little fresh blood, then there is dark red blood with little fluid. I don't have any pain in my abdomen or vulva but I still bleed for at least 2 days, it's not much but I'm very worried. Please ask the doctor what is the cause of bleeding during sex? Because of the covid situation, I can't go to the doctor. Ask your doctor for advice.

Hello,
With the question “What is the cause of bleeding during sex? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The most common causes of bleeding during sex originate in the cervix or vagina. One of the common causes is cervicitis. The second most common reason for bleeding after sex is cervical polyps. Other causes of bleeding after sex include:
Strong friction during sex or not enough lubrication, Bleeding if you have just started or just finished your period, Cervical or vaginal infections , Herpes genital ulcers, Cervical precancerous signs, Cervical ectropion, Cancer of the cervix, vagina or uterus... While many of these causes do not require treatment and harmless, sometimes vaginal bleeding after sex can be a sign of a more serious problem. If vaginal bleeding is stopping, you can schedule a follow-up visit with a specialist to find out the cause. If bleeding continues, you should see your doctor right away.
If you still have questions about bleeding during sex, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
