Patient's question:
Recently, when I had my period, I experienced some pain. I had my period at the beginning of this month, and on the third day, I had sex with my boyfriend. However, after sex, I noticed that there was always blood flowing from my vagina, and the amount was quite significant. It was accompanied by symptoms of dizziness. This has happened to me before, so why did this symptom reappear?Doctor's answer:
Since sexual activity can cause contact bleeding such as vaginal or cervical tumors, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, etc., but the amount of bleeding is generally not significant. If the bleeding is heavier, it is often due to fragile vaginal tissue or overly rough sexual behavior leading to vaginal wall laceration. With a little attention, it can be managed. Additionally, vaginal bleeding may also be related to oral contraceptives. Women who frequently take oral contraceptives may sometimes experience irregular spotting vaginal bleeding, which could be related to missed doses of the pill. It can also occur in those who have not missed doses, and adjusting the medication can prevent it.When patients are affected by gynecological diseases, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical consultation. If gynecological diseases do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
