What should I do if I have bleeding during intercourse after my period ends?

Patient's question:

After three days of the menstrual period, the couple had sexual intercourse and experienced bleeding. Upon examination, the uterus was found to be normal. The cervix was slightly swollen, but there were no polyps.

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically categorized into two major types in clinical practice: one is functional, such as irregular menstruation caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to irregular menstruation.
Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication based on the symptoms. In daily life, eat more foods that boost qi and blood, or use traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica, astragalus, and motherwort. Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more. Wishing you good health.
