Bleeding During and After Sex is Normal or No?
Hi everyone,
I am wondering if bleeding during sex and after is normal? I looked online at some sites and all say that it is not normal. They list different reasons why such as cervical cancer, polyps, std's, etc.
I got married last week and have been a virgin up until now. I have had sex only 3 times so far. They all have been painful. The first time I did not bleed till 2 days after. When I saw blood on the toilet paper I thought I had my period, besides that my lower abdomen was hurting like if I was on my period, but I did not bleed at all the rest of the day. Two days after that I had sex again (twice within an hour and a half) and I actually bled during sex and after. The condoms, bed, and toilet had blood. I am very tired and feeling a lil dizzy. I still have lower abdomen discomfort. I was told that I would feel some pain during sex but I wonder if its normal the amount of pain I have. Also, if it is normal to bleed. I dont think I could possibly have any of the medical conditions some sites list since I have had no problem or sex before last week.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the advice. I am sure everything is most likely normal but just wanted to make sure! :)

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that most likely the discomfort and bleeding you are having is due to rupture of the hymen. Most virginal women experience some pain and bleeding with their first encounters. I think that Serious Sam has a good point--you might want to ask you new husband to take cold showers for a few days while you heal abit.
Then, the next time you two enjoy each other, you might want to consider using a lubricant such as Replens.
If the bleeding is normal, it will soon stop. If it persists, you may want to schedule an appointment for your first pap and check up.
Good luck and Congratulations on your new marriage!

Another thing I forgot to mention: I am 26 years old! Yes, a late bloomer :)
Actually there are various things you can do to prepare yourself beforehand, but in this case you may want to let yourself heal for a little bit so that the next time might be more enjoyable and less blood?y
I also forgot to mention that I never had a Pap smear since I had barely begun to be sexually active.
