Hi.
Since the uterus contracts during orgasm, it’s possible that a small amount of blood and tissue left over from your last menstrual cycle (or building up for your next cycle) is being expelled. Many women experience light spotting after orgasm. Does this only happen when you’ve had an orgasm, or does it happen every time you have penis-vagina sex? And are you in any pain? Pain would be an indication of either an infection or the following.
Your cervix may be irritated, which can result in light bleeding. Short anatomy lesson: once you’re sufficiently aroused, the uterus rises up, moving the cervix out of the way of a penis so it doesn’t get bumped. If you’re having p-v before you’re turned on, your cervix is vulnerable to bumping and irritation.
You may also be experiencing tearing and abrasions if you’re not turned on. A pelvic exam can determine the extent of the tissue trauma, if there is any. If p-v hurts, you need to tell your partner to ease up and slow down. And be sure you’re wet enough—or get some good lube to augment your own natural lubrication. I recommend Replens, which is available at most drugstores.
It’s also true that bleeding can also be a sign of something serious like an infection or injury, so you might want to ask your gynecologist about this during your next exam. Good luck to you. Dr. J
