What Causes Pain And Light Bleeding During Sex?

I have been experiencing pain during sex, and light bleeding afterwards. The pain does not come with deep penetration, and I do not have any discharge or itching. I have also been very stressed because I have other health problems occurring right now. What could be causing this? and what should I do?
