Patient's question:
I've had this illness for four days now. The discharge is a bit yellow and slightly bloody, and I haven't gone to the hospital yet.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal bleeding during intercourse first requires identifying the cause. If the bleeding is due to local organic lesions of the female external genitalia, treating the local condition can resolve the bleeding. For instance, if the bleeding is caused by conditions like vulvar ulcers, eczema, or herpes, antibiotics should be used to reduce inflammation, and the eczema or herpes should be treated to naturally resolve the bleeding. If the bleeding is due to trichomoniasis, metronidazole should be used to treat the infection, and once the trichomoniasis is cured, the bleeding will naturally stop.If the bleeding is caused by improper intercourse, both partners should learn about sexual health, show mutual care, and cooperate fully. The woman should relax mentally, and the man should be gentle during intercourse, avoiding roughness. Postmenopausal women may apply a lubricant externally during intercourse to improve vaginal moisture and prevent atrophy. Sexual activity should be appropriately restricted, and intercourse is prohibited during menstruation. Women over 40 with post-intercourse bleeding should be vigilant about the possibility of malignant genital lesions.
