Patient's question:
After an abortion, I drank a bottle of beer after 20 days, and there was a faint bit of blood when I had sex. What's going on? Is it okay?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Post-coital bleeding refers to vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse. The amount of bleeding is often very small, or it may simply be a few streaks of blood mixed with vaginal discharge, known as contact bleeding. This type of bleeding is abnormal. Common conditions that cause post-coital bleeding include: cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical canal inflammation, submucosal uterine fibroids, and vaginitis. The most severe condition is cervical cancer, and contact bleeding is also a typical early symptom of cervical cancer. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Wishing you good health.
