General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
The bleeding/spotting what you could be experiencing after intercourse could be due to the following reasons:
1. Presence of uterine/cervical polyp, which could be bleeding.
2. Cervical inflammation/infection called 'cervicitis'.
3. Shedding of small amount of remnant endometrium which could have been retained during the periods.
However, it would be advisable to get a per speculum examination done by consulting Gynecologist to know what could be the cause. Also, you may require a ultrasound scan of pelvis to confirm the diagnosis.
Accordingly, this condition could be treated.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
