Patient's question:
My menstrual period is particularly light, with the longest duration being only three days. Just after my period ended, I had sex with my boyfriend, and during intercourse, I noticed vaginal bleeding. At first, the blood was a pale liver color, but later, for about three or four days, there was a continuous flow of dark red, almost black, minimal blood. After that, the color became lighter, and eventually, it turned into a yellowish liquid discharge. Since I first noticed it, every time I have sex after my period, I experience bleeding, but it's not dark in color, and it stops by the third day. However, it's not that I bleed every time I have sex during the post-period period. I often have some itchy symptoms in my external genital area. Is it normal for my menstrual period to be so light and short? Is the condition I'm experiencing after sex a sign of a serious gynecological disease? What illness could it be? What tests should I undergo? Will it affect my fertility and overall health in the future?Doctor's answer:
Post-coital bleeding may be caused by certain diseases, such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, submucosal uterine fibroids, vaginitis, and so on. However, it is still difficult to diagnose here. It is recommended that you go to the hospital in time for a detailed examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Gynecological diseases can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary issues should be addressed, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that gynecological patients can receive professional treatment.
