You should see a doctor.  Bleeding during/after sex is never a good sign.  It may be chlamydia or gonorrhea.  Sometimes that is the only sign present.  Don't delay!

yes, bleeding is never a good sign unless you have your period. i hear that can happen if you have an std or his penis "hits" your cervix. or is it uterus? HELP! someone please clarify for me!!!

if you are bleeding everytime, you need to stop having sex and call your doctor. It could be like maybe a floating uterus or something too. Even with rough sex, ive never heard of a woman bleeding after sex.

Hey girl I am having the same problem...I have been reading alot about it and bleeding during or after intercourse is a sign of cervical cancer...you better get it checked out. I had all sorts of tests ran for STD's and they were all negative now I am waiting to have a pap done...that is the important one because it tests for abnormalities on the cervix.

Are you on birth control? Because when I was on bc pills I bled after sex, it was like it would stimulate my period to come on or something.

just beacuse hes the first person you slept with doesnt mean your the first person hes slept with. and some stds get transferred even if you use a condom. it could be an irritation to the condom. it could be irriation from sex. you could tear a little. it could be a number of things.


just go to the doctors. but bleeding after sex is not that bad

Its happened to me a couple of times now. but only recently...at first i just assumed it was cause im on the implant and i dont really get periods...just blood every now and then. but because its happened more than once i just wondering....not really worried cause i had an internal exam not long ago and ive been tested for STDs and i dont have anything (had so many problems with 'down there' since i started getting UTIs). its always something to be checked out tho, so if anyone is worried then dont be afraid to see a doctor. i may do when i get time.

i had this for 10 years, bleeding after sex. only a tiny amount the day after and usually brown, and no pain. i had normal smears and no stds.
it was due to a cervical erosion. it can be seen during an examination or smear test. the doctor said it looks like a carpet burn on the cervix.
it is safe and normal and most peolpe who have one do not have any bleeding or symptoms.
i was told by doctor mine had come because i was on the pill. i was on it for 10 years and when i came off to start family the bleeding stopped. i dont know if i still have the erosion or if it healed. out of interest i will ask on next smear or exam

I have been having he exact same problem.
I had sex for the first time a little over a month ago, a week after i started on birth control.
I didn't start bleeding after sex until after i started my period two weeks later, I thought my period was just longer because the doctor said that would be normal. But the blood is darker until I have sex then it is like bright red fresh blood again.
Not really any pain.
I have been on my "period" for almost a month now.
It's light, but pretty much the most annoying thing ever.
Any idea's?
If it lasts much longer I am just going to the gyno.

Yep ive posted a problem on here and i is the same as this. Ive been having sex with my boyfriend for over 8 months now and as soon as i went on the pill it makes me bleed. its something to do with the neck of the womb and something that the pill does to it. however in the past about 2 years ago my boyfriend did have an sti but it got sorted and he is all clear now. i am worried to go to my doctor because i am only 15 but i suppose if he put me on it then he knows the possibilities of this happening. if you get me. i dont like getting the checks i just feel abit... i dont no. I hate my boyfriend even looking at me down there never mind some random that i dont even know! Are male doctors aloud to do the sti checks and that? I know that i dont have one because ive only ever been with him and he is clear but you cant exactly just go oh doc i no i dont blah blah blah coz how do you really know. You just have a 99% thought. So i guess ill just have to lump it if i want to make sure everythings ok. Its just really gutting after having a great time then going to the bathroom and see your bleeding. like somethings hit you round the head and say helloooo come down. I hate my period so this made me really angry lol xx

hey, im  14. and i've been having sex with my boyfriend for a year. we never used condoms, but i got tested and a DO NOT have any std's. 6 months ago i got on the depo shot, and i didn't bleed for the first 3 months. but when i went back to get the second shot i bled, and it was a brownish color. but about a week ago we had sex and i bled the next day, i thought this was just a one time thing so i didn't really worry. but the day after that, we had sex again and the same thing happened. also yesterday we had sex and after we did , he fingered me and he was like "are you bleeding?"  and i was. idk what to do. i told my mom and im going to the doctor in a week but for now, any advice?
