What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Vaginal Spotting After Intercourse?

Hello, I have had ovarian cysts for awhile now. On September 6th I had a laporocospy to remove a cyst off my left ovary. My periods have still been abnormal since. October 7, 2016 I had a period, November 10, 2016 I had another, December 6, 2016 was my most recent. I m not exactly sure what dates my fiancé and I had sex this month but it s always unprotected. last night on December 28 we again had sex and later in the night I woke up to cramps. I went to the bathroom and no blood. Today I started what could be an early period but it was very light pink and very light flow. I took a pregnancy test when I got home just to see and it was negative. I ve never had an early period before so I m not sure what is going on. Any advice?

Hi,

There are many reasons why a woman may bleed after sex. The medical name for this is "postcoital bleeding". Most common is an infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as chlamydia then vaginal dryness (atrophic vaginitis) caused by reduced vaginal secretions after the menopause, damage to the vagina, such as tears caused by childbirth, or by dryness or friction during sex or cervical or endometrial polyps (benign or non-cancerous growths in the womb or the lining of the cervix).

If the problem is caused by vaginal dryness, they may recommend that you try using lubricating gels. For other treatments, it would be necessary to see a gynecologist and establish the right cause first.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
General Surgeon
