Gynecologist should be visited.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Unfortunately such symptom at your age can indicate very serious issue. Please note that bleeding after intercourse can be a symptom of uterine cancer. Other possibilities like uterine polyps or even bacterial infection can be the reason of your symptoms as well.
But it should be verified by a specialist. I strongly recommend you to consult a gynecologist. Transvaginal ultrasound, pap test should be done at first.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
