Hello and welcome to HCM,
Bleeding after having intercourse could be due to trauma or injury to the hymen.
The bleeding due to trauma usually stops within few hours.
However, if the bleeding is profuse and not stopping, you need to consult your gynecologist for clinical assessment.
The bleeding site needs to be controlled by cautery or bandaging.
If there bleeding stops or is very scant, you may wait for it to stop completely.
Thanks and take care
