Patient's question:
Doctor, I have irregular periods, and they usually delay by 6 or 7 days each month. This month, it might be coming soon, but yesterday I noticed some blood in my vagina and thought it was my period. However, there was only a little, and today there’s still only a little. I don’t know what’s going on. I got a cold yesterday and took 2 tablets of Gan Kang, but I don’t think it should have any effect, right?What could be the problem with my condition?
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, usually fresh blood.
2. Cervical diseases, such as cervical erosion and 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 activity 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.
