Bleeding after s3x can be caused by many factors such as Uterine fibroids, Ectopic pregnancy, infection of the Cervix, hormonal imbalance as well as Cervical cancer.
However, cervical cancer can present with different symptoms ranging from unusual bleeding between periods, after menopause, or after sexual intercourse, increased or foul-smelling vaginal discharge, symptoms like persistent pain in the back, legs, or pelvis, weight loss, fatigue and loss of appetite, vaginal discomfort and leg swelling.
Clinical evaluations and tests to confirm a diagnosis are important and will generally be followed by referral for treatment services, which can include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy as well as palliative care to provide supportive care and pain management.
Cervical cancer can be cured if diagnosed and treated at an early stage of disease. Recognizing symptoms and seeking medical advice to address any concerns is a critical step. Moreover, it is important for you to see your doctor for a proper evaluation of your bleeding problem.
