What Causes Vaginal Bleeding And Itching After Intercourse?

I had intercourse 2 days ago, at first the bleeding that was there was less noticeable .. A spot here & there . Now the amount is enough to wear a small pad . This is not my period though , it has been off for about a week & a half . I have no discomfort , itching , anything . Just swelling the first day & a few cramps the second . Can you tell me what this is ?

Hello,

Vaginal bleeding, itching after intercourse are indicative of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as chlamydia, etc. Other medical conditions with similar symptoms are vaginal dryness (atrophic vaginitis) caused by reduced vaginal secretions after the menopause. It may be due to infection or injury to the cervix. Avoid rough sex. Apply vaginal lubricants before sex.

Get clinically examined by a gynecologist, get tested for STD and get Pap smear done to rule out chances of malignancy. You will be treated accordingly. To reduce the swelling and inflammation, you can take Acetaminophen or Combiflam, one stat when needed. You can apply Clotrimazole Vaginal Cream in the areas affected to control fungal infection, itching and burning in the vagina. Take care of your hygiene, avoid sex for a couple of days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
