Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I need more information before running into final conclusions:

1. You are saying to have ovary cyst while your doctor removed the cyst and stiched the tortion ovary to the abdominal wall. Can you please tell when was this intervetion carried out?

2. You are saying to have had sex 2 days back and just now you noticed the bleeding. Can you please tell if you were dry during penetration?

Next, what about your monthly periods? Have they been regular since the operation?

Looking forward to have the requested data in for a more specific opinion.

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Thank you for providing additional information.

If bleeding consists of fresh blood, then, might be due to periods.

If only spotting or brown discharge, then might be a sign of infection and need further evaluation.

All the best!
