Bleeding during sex
I have been bleeding during sex for years. My doctor can not figure out the problem. 2 years ago I had a uterine hysteroscopy with d@c and he removed 2 polyps. I just had the same procedure last week and he found nothing wrong. I am frustrated and don't know what to do. Any help ?

Hi. The bleeding has been ongoing and not after the procedure last week (as in the procedure caused the bleeding?)? Some women have a condition with their cervix where they have cells growing differently (cells protrude outward on the lining)-- it's called cervical ectropion. Infections can cause bleeding (but you'd likely have other symptoms). Endometriosis can cause bleeding during sex. If you have a very low level of estrogen, some women have bleeding (related to lubrication), a fibroid tumor, etc. I assume you've had a pap smear to detect any lesions on the cervix as well?

Yes, the Dr has checked for them all. Is there anything that can be done to the cells?
