What is the problem when bleeding occurs during intercourse?

Patient's question:

Yesterday, when I had sex with my husband, I felt a bit of pain in my vagina. After it was over, I looked inside and noticed some bleeding. It wasn't a lot. I want to ask, what could be the problem if there is bleeding during intercourse? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Post-coital vaginal bleeding may be related to cervical erosion or cervical polyps, or it could be due to rough sexual activity causing vaginal wall bruising and skin tearing. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a regular professional hospital's gynecology department for a thorough examination to identify the cause of vaginal bleeding and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to sexual hygiene, maintain dry and clean external genitalia, and be gentle during sexual activity. In addition to treating gynecological conditions, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
