What Causes Vaginal Bleeding Post Unprotected Intercourse?
Hello doctor, i am 20 years old female, I had been having sex with my partner using safety measures, I.e condom, three days ago, we had sex without protection just for a couple of minute, my partner was clean of any! And today I am having bleeding 8 days prior to my expected periods? Is it just early period or sign of implantation?

Hello,
Pregnancy is a common cause. Polyps or fibroids (small and large growths) in the uterus can also cause bleeding. Rarely, a thyroid problem, infection of the cervix, or cancer of the uterus can cause abnormal uterine bleeding. In most women, abnormal uterine bleeding is caused by a hormone imbalance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
