Is post-coital vaginal bleeding severe?

Patient's question:

I am 19 years old. After having sex with my boyfriend (not for the first time), I still experience bleeding. Why is that?

Doctor's answer:

There are three possible reasons for post-coital bleeding: 1. Rough behavior may damage the vaginal mucosa or the skin around the vaginal opening, causing bleeding; 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 examination and treatment; 3. When menstruation has just ended, the vagina and endometrium are still in the process of healing.
It is recommended to drink more water, pay attention to observation, maintain external hygiene, eat less raw, cold, and spicy foods, and use medication for cleaning. Medical treatment may be necessary if symptoms persist. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
