Not taKing anything. I've never tried birth control. I'm 28. Yes sexually active. Started since my boyfriend and i slept together on Thursday. My period has been normal lately. Last menstrual was on the 15th of January so it's definitely not time for that. The only surgery I've had has been for gallstones 2 years ago.

No white discharge. Simply dry blood when i wipe.

Brief Answer:
?? Abrasion possibly from sexual contact

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.

Thank you so much for your kind co-operation.

Based on the provided information, it does seem that bleeding caused from a possible abrasion due to penetrative sexual intercourse could be a possibility. But if this is indeed the case, the bleeding will subside gradually.

+I would also like to inquire if at all you indulged in protected or unprotected sexual intercourse?
+Would you say the sexual contact was rough or normal?
+Did you use any emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) after sexual contact?

I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

It was normal. Nothing rough. We did not use a condom but he didn't release inside either. I didn't feel injured at all

Brief Answer:
It is possible, lets wait and watch

Detailed Answer:
Hi ma'am.

It can seem that way, you do not necessarily feel injured or bruised if at all there is a bruise as these areas are not necessarily extremely pain sensitive. Let's wait for 3-5 days and see if the bleeding stops, if it does then we can confirm the suspected bruise from sexual intercourse.

But if it does not, and by the end of the 5th day if at all the bleeding presentation (colour, consistency, etc.) has also changed, please do write to me about the same. I shall guide you further from thereon ma'am.

In the meantime, it would be best to avoid sexual contact and continue to maintain good hygiene in the genital region. Please feel free to write to me anytime, I am always here to help ma'am.

Best wishes.
