What is the reason for a small amount of light red blood during sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

During sexual intercourse, a small amount of light red blood fluid is present, with a very faint color. Afterward, there is still light red blood, which has persisted for two days now, appearing occasionally, similar to menstruation. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Not a lot of blood is usually not menstruation, but rather the natural shedding of dead cells in the vagina after friction during sexual intercourse. These dead cells contain red blood cells that oxidize and appear like blood! If there is bleeding, it indicates damage. It is recommended that you maintain cleanliness recently to avoid infection.
Hello, it is best not to eat, but if you must, you should stop breastfeeding during medication and switch to feeding your baby with formula milk. Additionally, you must wear a mask because infants have low immunity and can be infected through the respiratory tract. Wait until you have fully recovered before continuing breastfeeding.
