Hello dear
Understand your concern
Following are the cause of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse:
Mechanical trauma due to rough sex: it injured the superficial venous plexus of cervix and vagina. Require vaginal examination to idetify the trauma.
Take warm water sitz bath with added betadine, avoid perfumed saop and cosmetics. It will goes off in 4-5 days. Avoid sex for 1 week.
Vaginal infections and cervix infections: Change in Ph and vaginal flora after sex increase the risk of infection. It should be diagnosed by vaginal swab test, urine test and CBC. It should be treated by specific antibiotic, maintain proper pelvic hygiene.
Cervical and endometrial dysplasia: It should be diagnosed by papa smear and or colposcopy. It require specific treatment.
