Bleeding After Intercourse Posted: 10-14-03 14:51pm
For the past month, i've been having
problems with bleeding after intercourse
with my boyfriend. I'm 21 years old and
have been intimate before. When we first
started having sex, I wasn't on birth
control yet so we were using condoms. At
that time, I had no problems at all with
bleeding. I started using the birth
control patch about 2 months ago, and so
we haven't been using a condom anymore. I
should also mention that since we don't
live together, we are only able to be
together every 2 weeks usually. The last
time I went to stay with him for the
weekend, the first time we had sex over
the course of the weekend, I bled quiet a
bit. It was fresh blood, so I thought
that the reason for it was a small tear.
We decided to give it another try the next
day since the bleeding had stopped the
night before. No bleeding that time, or
any time after that. This past weekend,
he came to stay with me, and we only had
sex once. Of course, I bled again that
time too.
I thought that perhaps the reason why I
was bleeding afterwards was due to a small
tear, but wondered why I had never bled
before. I am also confused as to why I
only bleed after the first time, but not
any time afterwards.
I am aware that spotting and break-through
bleeding are side effects of the birth
contorl. Is this break-through bleeding
or another problem? Or, could it simply
be that i've been tensing up? Or, is it
just a tear?
Thanks!

Actually it could be the roughness on a
tear. The roughness tears it and can
cause bleeding, sometimes it can tear and
other times it will be fine. It depends
on positions and roughness. Ask your doc
just in case it continues. I hope I
helped!
