what causes bleeding after intercourse? i am 48 years old and this is the first time i experienced this. is this related to menopause?

infections are more likely suspect to this. a visit to your doctor maybe a big help.

must be luck of libido or arousal. is it painful? how would you describe it?

vaginal bleeding after intercourse can happen to a variety of different reasons. i haven't really experienced this so i can't give any advice. i think its better if you consult your doctor.

it's not really painful but it does have some tingling feeling inside. the thought of it bleeding is my big concern. any feedback would be appreciated.

it happened to me some years ago. my doctor said that bleeding after intercourse is not normal. and that you should be concerned about occasionally bleeding after intercourse.

vaginal bleeding after sex can be a sign of a serious underlying problem, including:

inflammation of the cervix or cervicitis
sexually transmitted diseases
cervical polyps
cervical ectropion
pelvic inflammatory disease
uterine fibroids
cancer of the cervix, uterus or vagina

hi felecity, you just mentioned you experienced the same thing with mine. so, how was it? what are the findings and how did you handle it?

felecity - September 25th, 2009 8:31 PM

yup, my doctor prescribed a medicine which i don't remember anymore. give me some time to recall and i'll get back to you.

a rough intercourse can sometimes lead to bleeding. how often does bleeding happens?

felecity - September 29th, 2009 6:21 PM

mine happens almost every after contact. i was prescribed with anti biotics and anti inflammatory then.

it happens to me sometimes too. it's a bit painful and kind of stinging inside. i wonder what went wrong, i'm using lubricants each time we do it..

bleeding during or after intercourse whether related to meno or not should not be taken for granted especially if it associated with pain. best to have it checked.
