Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. In the current scenario, it is possible that infection could be causing this post coital bleeding. Hence, I would ask you to see your specialist for a proper clinical appraisal of the situation and plan further management. It is also advisable to have a culture test done on the swabs taken from the sites of infection in order to avoid recurrences. Empirical antibiotic treatment now-a-days is likely to fail in view of the increasing antibiotic resistance. Also, other tests like blood glucose, hemoglobin, protein etc., should be done to know your general condition. Hope this helps.
