Patient's question:
Doctor, this morning after I had intimate relations with my girlfriend, she said she felt uncomfortable downstairs. I thought it was just because of the wrong position, so I told her to rest well. But just now, when she went to the bathroom, she found that she was bleeding from her vagina. However, it's not her period, so I want to ask what could be the reason for sudden vaginal bleeding?Doctor's answer:
If it only occurs occasionally, it may be due to vaginal mucosal injury. Besides the possibility of it being caused by ovulatory bleeding, there's no need to be too anxious. Pay attention to rest, eat less extremely cold and irritating foods, maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, and change underwear frequently. It usually improves gradually within one to two days. If the vaginal bleeding occurs frequently during intercourse, it may be caused by cervical lesions. In such cases, it's necessary to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal endoscopy and gynecological examination.
