Bleeding after s3x

Published by

I am in my 40s. I noticed that in the last few months, I usually see bright red blood each time I have s3x with my husband. I don’t have any pain though. I will be grateful if you can let me know my problem and how to solve it.

Common causes of bleeding after s3x include: Injury during s3x, Vaginal dryness which occurs when the skin is dry and becomes extremely vulnerable to damage.  Engaging in intercourse before arousal as well as infections  such as yeast infections, and s3xually transmitted infections can also cause bleeding after s3x. In addition, Cervical or endometrial polyps or fibroids and cancer of the Cervix can also cause the problem. Finally, diseases that cause abnormal bleeding or clotting can increase the risk of postcoital bleeding. Blood-thinning medications may also have this effect. In view of the above, a thorough examination by your doctor is the best solution to your problem.
