Bleeding After Sex
Posted: 08-30-04 16:10pm

Im 23 years old and I recently had sex for the first time. It was very painful and shortly after I started bleeding and it hasn't stopped since. It's almost like im on my period but I just had it so I know it's not that. I know that its normal for the first time to be painful and have some bleeding, but is it normal to be bleeding for this long? If anyone else has experienced this or knows anything about it please let help!

Yes, very possible. Something foreign has just entered your body for the first time, and it wasn't used to it. So therefore some stretching and maybe even tearing occured. Is the blood different from your period?

Thanks for your reply. It doesn't seem any different than my period, but i'm nervous because its been over 24 hours and im still bleeding. It was pretty heavy for the first couple of hours to the point where I was actually peeing blood, which was really scary. I still feel a little sore too, is that normal?

Oh being sore is definitely normal. You're body has just been stretched! It would be weird not to be sore after that. As with the blood, I wouldn't worry too much about it. But if it gets worse, or lasts more than a few days (at the same strength it is now) then I would maybe look into seeing a doctor, you might have damaged something more seriously.
