Is it normal to bleed a lot the first time you have sex?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello! My first sexual experience was very scary and nervous for me. When it entered, it hurt so much like pouring salt on a wound, and I felt like I needed to use the restroom. In the struggle, there was bleeding from my lower body, and now there's still occasional bleeding. There's also a feeling of soreness and slight pain, as if my period is coming! What could be causing this?
First follow-up question: Could there be anything else? Because it's my first time, I'm scared that it might affect my health in the future.
Second follow-up question: On the third day, I still feel uncomfortable and very worried.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, anything is possible. It could be a few milliliters or a few drops, or it could be heavy bleeding. Even a hymen rupture without bleeding is possible. It is not rare for a virgin to not bleed during their first sexual intercourse, and there are several reasons for this, such as a thick and tough hymen, a large hymen opening with fewer blood vessels, congenital absence, rupture during vigorous activity or the use of tampons—perhaps it had already broken before you had sexual intercourse.
