What is the reason for vaginal pain and a small amount of blood during sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

I currently experience a slight pain during sexual intercourse with my husband, and sometimes there is a small amount of blood. What could be the reason? Have I contracted any disease? I am about to prepare for having a child and wonder if it will have any impact.

Doctor's answer:

Post-coital bleeding can occur due to several reasons:
1. Rough behavior may damage the vaginal mucosa or the skin around the vaginal opening, causing bleeding, which is usually fresh blood.
2. Cervical diseases, such as cervical erosion or cervical cancer. If post-coital bleeding occurs repeatedly and is unrelated to the position, it is essential to seek medical attention for early diagnosis and treatment.
3. Immediately after menstruation, when the vagina and endometrium are still healing, sexual intercourse may cause bleeding. This is a normal situation, but it is recommended to visit a hospital for examination to rule out the possibility of gynecological inflammation.
