Why is there still bleeding a few days after the hymen breaks?

Patient's question:

I had my first sexual intercourse with my girlfriend 20 days ago. My hymen broke and there was bleeding. After a few days, we had sex almost every day, but there was no bleeding. Only occasionally, we noticed a little bit of blood, which we didn't pay much attention to. Yesterday, after sex, when I pulled out my penis, I found bright red blood. I don't know why? She didn't say she was in pain. Additional question: It's not menstrual blood, and her period has already passed for 3 to 4 days.

Doctor's answer:

The bleeding from a hymen injury is usually most severe for about 1-3 days. It does not last for a very long time. If the bleeding persists for an extended period, it is necessary to check for other severe injuries or infections, hormonal imbalances, or other causes. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for a proper diagnosis. If there are no other discomforts in the body, it is perfectly fine to continue monitoring for a longer period, as it may still not be determined to be abnormal.
