bleeding after sex

Recently, every time after I had sex I would bleed. I was not a virgin, but it was the first time in a year I had sex with someone other the same person I had been having sex with. It is very embarassing and has prevented me from being comfortable having sex. What is wrong? Is it possible that the man was too big? How can I prevent this from happening again? thanks

This bleeding is probably coming from cervical erosion or cervicitis. This is not a serious problem and is nothing to worry about as such. However, you do need to have a Pap Smear when erosion can be confirmed and cervical cancer ruled out. To stop the bleeding you may need to have your cervix lightly cauterize.

It might be from dryness. I would recommend a water based lubricant. This will help with too much friction and it's safe to use with condoms. Give that a try and if you still continue to bleed get in to see your Dr.
