Still Bleeding After So Long? Posted: 02-06-07 11:08am
Hi everyone.
I'm so new to being sexually active.. So
I don't really know what's normal..
The first time I got fingered, it hurt a
lot.. I bled.. And I believe that that's
normal.
The second time, which was a week later,
it didn't hurt, but he did something, with
his fingers, and it hurt sooo bad..And
then I was bleeding again. The next day I
checked with toilet paper to see if it was
still bleeding, because it still hurt..
And I still had blood there. The next day
I checked, and the blood was gone, but it
was still tender.
The third time, which was about four days
later, he was a little more rough, used
more fingers, and I bled so bad that I
thought I had my period.. But I just had
my period.. So I dont know..
Whats happening????
Thank you soo much.

There are a few different things that
could be the problem, but either way, no,
that isn't quite normal. That doesn't
mean that you're a freak or that there is
necessarily anything medically wrong with
you either though. It just means that
something is not quite right, probably
something very small and easy to fix.
The vagina is made up of some very
sensitive tissue. Fingers are kind of
rough. Fingernails can cut the skin.
Also, many men are far too rough with
their hands. So take a look at his hands
first. See if his nails need to be cut.
If his hands are very rough, you could
always have him put a condom over his
finger or fingers. It might sound silly,
but condoms are smooth and often coated
with lubrication.
Another problem could be lubrication.
Lack of lubrication is the number one
cause of pain during sex. If you weren't
lubricated enough, that makes your vagina
even more likely to get hurt. If you are
often dry, you can buy more lubrication at
the store; water-based is usually best, so
read the label.
If something that he is doing is hurting
you, tell him right away. Don't let him
continue to do it that way. There is no
reason why you two cant continue what you
were doing after asking him to be more
gentle. Sexual activity sometimes
requires a lot of communication.
Now, there is a small chance that
something a little more serious is going
on down there. There is no harm in
seeing an ob-gyn just in case. It could
even be a cut that isn't healing and keeps
opening up. She might be able to just
give you a cream. It's kind of
embarrassing to go to the ob-gyn, but it
feels great to come out of there with your
questions answered. We can't really
diagnose you over the internet, and there
are too many possibilities, so we will
probably of limited help. Just don't go
to the ob-gyn when you have your period.
