Bleeding during foreplay & iontercourse

[Katii]

Im a 14 year old, sexually active female. Recently i've been experiencing the problem of vaginal bleeding during foreplay and intercourse. I've been sexually active for 8 months and have been experiencing this problem for about 4 months. I haven't been to my GP about this because i get really embarrased talking face to face to people about my problems. I have never had un-protected sex, I have been on the pill for 6 months and I have only had one sexual partner

Do you know whats happening with my body?

Many thanks

Bleeding can be a sign of disease or other condition and should never be ignored.

I don't know why you're bleeding because I can't examine you, and I'm not a gynecologist. If you feel you're old enough to have penis-vagina sex, you also need to take responsibility for your sexual health. That means seeing a gynecologist--not a GP. The only way to determine what's happening is through a thorough examination.

Some teen women feel more comfortable talking to another woman, and there are lots of good people at your local Planned Parenthood, which has teen clinics that are low-cost or free. Make an appointment today. You'll feel much better. Good luck. Dr. J

Hi. I see you live in the UK. If you haven't yet seen a gynecologist, phone your local physician and ask to be referred to a gynecologist. There are also lots of women's clinics in the UK, so I'm sure you can find one that's close to your location.
