What Causes Vaginal Bleeding Post Unprotected Intercourse?

Hiya, just going to say it how it is. I had unprotected sex (yes I realise Im a massive F***ING idiot) on Wednesday/Thursday morning and today I started bleeding. My period isnt due for another 6-7 days. Am I in a bit of a predicament or is my body just teaching me a lesson? Thanks in advance

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
The source of bleeding after sex is usually the cervix, enough friction or mild trauma during sexual intercourse can cause some bleeding. Light pink to red blood discharge can be from cervix (lower end of uterus).
so you should use water-based lubricants during sex. Inflammation of the cervix or some other abnormality, most of which are harmless, can also result in bleeding. Bleeding after sexual intercourse is not a symptom of getting pregnant.


Don't worry you would be fine
Hoping your query is solved.
