What are the reasons for a small amount of blood during sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

During sexual intercourse, a small amount of blood was discharged. What could be the cause? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

If there is bleeding after sexual intercourse, it is first necessary to rule out issues with the female reproductive tract. Common causes include vaginal polyps, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, uterine fibroids, etc. Friction and impact from the penis can cause polyps or eroded areas to rupture and bleed. If bleeding occurs frequently after sexual intercourse, it is important to be vigilant about cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and other conditions. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
