Often, small vaginal cuts heal within about 1-3 days, so having small amounts of vaginal bleeding a few hours after getting cut during sex is not unusual. However, any time that more moderate or large amounts of blood are lost, or if you experience ongoing discomfort or pain associated with sex or possible tearing, it’s wise to check in with a healthcare provider.
Sometimes women get cuts on parts of their
vulva, such as on the labia (which are also called the vaginal lips), the
perineum or the area around the
clitoris.
Other times women get cut internally, inside the vaginal canal. Often, cuts that result from sex play or intercourse are quite small and heal well on their own. Occasionally, though, vaginal or vulvar cuts may require stitches or other medical attention for proper healing.
If the bleeding continues, if you continue to experience pain or discomfort, or if you have additional questions about your personal health, please let me know
