Patient's question:
Yesterday was the third day after my period. Since I thought my body was already clean, I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend at night. But this morning I noticed some skin irritation. I want to consult about whether the vaginal bleeding after intercourse on the third day after my period is serious and whether I need to see a doctor.Doctor's answer:
On the third day after menstruation, if there is peeling during intercourse, it may be considered cervical inflammation or cervical erosion. It is recommended that you visit a gynecologist in a timely manner for a gynecological examination, including an internal examination if necessary, and a cervical cancer screening. After a definitive diagnosis is made, symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially during menstruation. Avoid sexual activity during the menstrual period, and both partners should wash the genital area during intercourse. Women with gynecological conditions can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. A balanced diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
