What Causes Pink Colored Vaginal Discharge After Intercourse?
Is it normal to have a light period (on time) after you lose your virginity (a few weeks back)? I normally have a heavy flow, but this time there was spotting and it was just very light comparatively. I did have sex the day before my period.

Hello,
There are several possible reasons for the light pink discharge. First of all, pink discharge is simply a sign of a very small amount of blood mixed into your vaginal discharge. When you have intercourse for the first time, the hymenal membrane tears or can be pushed towards the side walls, breaking open several capillaries that will cause a very small amount of blood. In addition, women who have intercourse immediately before their menses can shed some of the endometrial lining that is already prepared to come out in the form of your period when the cervix is moved during intercourse. You have nothing to worry about.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
