Doctor's answer:
Sexual intercourse bleeding is considered abnormal, mostly caused by gynecological inflammation. There are many reasons for vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps bleeding, or vaginal wall damage caused by rough sexual activity. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for examinations such as colposcopy and ultrasound to diagnose and treat the condition clearly. Sexual activity should be paused during this time. Additionally, applying some ointment externally during intercourse can help improve vaginal lubrication and prevent atrophy.
