Blood after sex is the cause of the appearance.

Blood after sex (postcoital bleeding) is one of the most frequent female complaints. In most cases, such a pathology poses no danger to the life of a woman, but if it is repeated again and again, this is already a symptom of the disease. Therefore, it is better to see a doctor right away to avoid unpleasant consequences. What are the true causes of postcoital bleeding?

Everyone knows that blood after sex is the "companion" of the first sexual intercourse, when a hymen rupture occurs , and as a result, bleeding appears. The number of excretions will depend on the form and strength of the hymen, on tension, on the partner's sexual experience, etc. Girls who previously used tampons, got sports injuries of the small pelvis or even masturbated, bleeding can be insignificant.

Bleeding after intercourse may be a symptom of sexually transmitted diseases, otherwise STDs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, etc.) or the onset of inflammatory ailments of almost all the female genital organs (vaginitis, cervicitis, vaginal inflammation, etc.) .

Very often, bloody discharge after intercourse can talk about cervical dysplasia, which is a precancerous condition, as well as about ectopic pregnancy, rupture of the ovary or about the worst - cancer. All these pathologies along with bleeding will be accompanied by severe and severe pain, pale skin, weak pulse, severe sweating, low blood pressure and increased heart rate.

No less "popular" cause of post-coital bleeding is the presence of polyps and erosion. Polyps, as a rule, are removed, and erosion is cauterized. Blood after sex is a consequence of the use of some hormone-based contraceptives, a pass or banal delay in the reception of which can lead to a similar situation. Women who are prone to postcoital bleeding should not take medications that affect the reduction of blood clotting, as a result of thinning of the mucous membrane of the uterus, which leads to bleeding.

In addition, the blood after sex appears and in the presence of uterine fibroids. And it is worth remembering that in this education the remaining symptoms may be very weak or absent altogether. By the way, many women in the period before menopause notice that their fibroids, due to the increased production of estrogen at this time, disappear on their own.

After all, the presence of such signs may indicate abruption of the placenta or other serious pathologies of pregnancy. Therefore, when the blood appears in a pregnant woman (and only after sex) - this is an occasion to call a doctor or an ambulance.

Do not forget that very often the presence of postcoital bleeding indicates a trauma or rupture of the mucous uterus after a too rough and cruel sex.
