Patient's question:
I haven't had sexual activity today, but after having sex, I noticed some blood stains on my fingers. The amount wasn't much. Previously, during sex, there had been no broken skin. I checked a few times, and today is the day after ovulation. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal bleeding during intercourse requires identifying the underlying cause. If the bleeding is due to organic inflammation of the female external genitalia, the condition can be resolved by allowing the local inflammation to heal. Antibiotics should be used to completely eliminate the inflammation, and conditions like eczema and herpes should be allowed to heal naturally, which will also resolve the bleeding during intercourse. If the bleeding is caused by trichomoniasis, treatment for the trichomoniasis should be initiated first. Once the trichomoniasis is cured, the bleeding during intercourse will naturally subside. If the bleeding is due to improper intercourse, both partners should practice sexual knowledge together, show mutual understanding, and engage in thorough communication. The woman should relax mentally, and the man should be gentle during intercourse, avoiding roughness.
