Patient's question:
Patient Age: 16I have not had my period yet. Why did I bleed after having sex with my boyfriend?
Doctor's answer:
There are two situations: one is that you have hymen occlusion, meaning your hymen has no opening and your menstrual blood cannot flow out. However, you experience regular abdominal pain each month. The other is a developmental issue, meaning you do not ovulate each month, so you have your period. In either case, it does not affect bleeding after first sexual intercourse. The hymen is just a thin membrane at the opening of your vagina. It is unrelated to your development. However, if you do not ovulate, you will not get pregnant.
