What should I do if there is vaginal bleeding after intercourse?

Patient's question:

During sexual activity, it's the same. About the past treatment and effectiveness: Previously, I had vaginitis and moderate cervical erosion. There was bleeding during sexual activity back then, but after a period of treatment, it has now become post-coital bleeding. Before, I was treated for cervical erosion with medication, but I never went for follow-up checks. I don't know if it has flared up again or if it's due to other reasons. Does this condition indicate that the illness is severe, or did the previous treatment not have much effect? In that case, do I need to go to the hospital for further tests?

Doctor's answer:

After sexual activity, if vaginal bleeding occurs again, it is important to pay attention to the possibility of it being caused by conditions such as cervical erosion, cervicitis, endometritis, and other diseases. It is also necessary to consider whether it may be related to unreasonable sexual positions. In this case, the first step is to reduce the intensity of sexual activity and be gentler. If bleeding still occurs, it is advisable to undergo a gynecological examination at a regular hospital and refrain from sexual activity. Based on the examination results, appropriate treatment measures should be formulated. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
