Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:

1) Mild to moderate bleeding during or after intercourse may be due to hymen rupture, rough sex, blunt trauma, vaginal infection or dryness (lack of lubrication). Most of time, this type of bleeding stops automatically within 3-5 days. Endometriosis, cervical polyp etc should be ruled out.

2) Use proper lubrication during sex and maintain genital hygiene. Medicine like Tranexamic acid can be taken for 3 days to arrest bleeding temporarily.

3) Lastly, I suggest you to consult with gynecologist if bleeding continues more than 3 days. One ultrasound scan is advisable to detect uterine or cervical pathology (if any). You may require progesterone pills if bleeding continues more than 5 days. Good luck and take care.

For future query, you can directly approach me through
