Houston OBGYN | Vaginal Bleeding After Sex

August 10, 2011 By Patrick Pearsall Leave a Comment

Houston OBGYN | Unhappy CoupleMany women visit their Houston OBGYN with questions regarding bleeding that occurs during or after sexual intercourse. Many women blow this off when it first starts occurring because it only involves a small amount of blood and it is not anything long term like an actual period. This is dangerous, since vaginal bleeding after sex is never normal.

 

There can be different causes for post-sex bleeding and it doesn’t always signal a serious problem for all women. Yet, it could be a sign of cervical cancer or another serious medical condition. This is why all women need to know that bleeding after or during sexual intercourse is something to discuss with an OBGYN as soon as it starts.

 

According to the Mayo Clinic, post-sex vaginal bleeding can be a sign of irritation or inflammation of cells on the cervix. This could be a serious problem or it could just be ordinary changes in the cervix that happen to all women with age.

 

The fact that so many women blow off these bleeding spells is alarming, considering there is a risk that the bleeding is a symptom of something going wrong inside a woman’s body. All women need to be aware that post-sex vaginal bleeding is not normal with age.
