What happens to the hymen when it breaks and there is bleeding?

Patient's question:

I had my first sexual intercourse with my girlfriend 20 days ago. My hymen broke and there was bleeding. After a few days, we had sex almost every day, but there was no bleeding. Only occasionally, we noticed a little bit of blood, which we didn't pay much attention to. Yesterday, after sex, when I pulled out my penis, I found bright red blood. I don't know why? She didn't say she was in pain. Additional question: It's not menstrual blood, and her period has already passed for 3-4 days.

Doctor's answer:

The bleeding from the damage to the hymen usually lasts for about 1-3 days. It does not last for a very long time. If the bleeding lasts too long, it may be necessary to check for other serious injuries or infections, hormonal imbalances, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to identify the cause. If there are no other discomforts in the body, it is perfectly fine to continue observing for a longer period, as it still cannot be determined to be abnormal.
