Should I be worried if I bleed from sex?

Question

I am 21 years old and I just started having sex with my boyfriend about a month ago (I was a virgin). About 3 times since the first time, I've bled after we have sex. It doesn't seem to be coming from deep inside me, but rather a cut or tear near the opening. Is this just remnants of my hymen still getting in the way sometimes? I don't feel pain during sex, except if he hits my cervix too hard. I have been to a gynecolegist and been examined last summer. So, I'm just wondering if other people have experienced this and whether I should be concerned? Thanks.

Thank you for the replies, just to clarify for one of the answerers... I have been with him for 2 years, not one month. And he absolutely is not trying to hurt me.

Anyhow, I am in university and can get a doctor appointment at student health easily, so I'll have things checked out. I just feel like I end up going to the doctor a lot when nothing ends up being wrong and the doctors think i'm a hypochondriac or something.

Answer 1

yea, for the fisrt couple times, it's usual.

Answer 2

Yes, you should be it's not the norm. Perhaps he's a tad bit bigger than you can take 1st time and think it would be a very good step to go to the GUN. You,re thinking what I am he might of
torn something down there that could get infection if not already.
I went out with a guy (I wasn't virgin then) but he was just too big
for me nor did he seem to care during sex that I was in pain. If he
doesn't understand he's hurting r cervix or any other vital part of
"YOU PERIOD", he's not for you Sweety, maybe he's purposely, which "ANGER'S ME ALOT" u see the Best Sex a guy can have
is with a Virgin, as their Penis clamps in you so tight, their in heaven as the Penis is the tightest in a Virgin! Did u not find he had climaxed fast? Did you climax once with him inside you?
I think for pre-cautionary measures u should see r GYN & talk to r
best friend about r boyfriend. How long you been going out, what
r going through now, etc. If u have nobody to talk to plse call me.
([e-mail]) I know the 1st cut is the deepest.
Summer P.S. 1 month is far to early to give up your virginity to him I'm sorry but that is far to early for something so sacrid!

Answer 3

I had sex whith my now wife, then girlfriend, for the first time when we were 19 and only experienced bleeding the the first 2 times. The first time was basically a bloodbath and the second not so bad. By the third and forth everything was normal. Is the sex vigorous? If not then you can possibly still be dealing with your hymen still. I'm not sure though, hope I helped some.

Answer 4

You shouldn't be bleeding anymore if you said you have been doing it 3x since the first. See your doctor it could be a tear from rough sex or someting more. Best to see your Doc.

Answer 5

nicely in the experience that your bleeding afterwards then it is not widely used. i might bypass to the popular practitioner and discover out what is going on. i'm going to no longer be an expert yet what I even have found out that bleeding whilst your no longer on your era then it extremely is atypical. wish this helps!

Answer 6

You've just finished making love, and you're in that pleasant dream-like state when you go to the bathroom and discover that you are bleeding. Nothing can bring you back to reality faster than vaginal bleeding after sex. Post-coital bleeding can occur for a number of reasons, and is nothing to take lightly. Here's a look at the top 10 causes of vaginal bleeding after sex:


1:Cervical dysplasia: Cervical dysplasia is precancerous changes of the epithelial cells that line the cervix. Risk increases with multiple sexual partners, sex before age 18, childbirth before age 16, or a past history of STDs. Treatment is usually cryosurgery or conisation.


2:Chlamydia: A bacterial infection that is usually transmitted through sexual activity or contact with semen, vaginal fluid, or blood.


3:Gonorrhea: A usually sexually transmitted disease caused by a bacteria. Several pharmaceutical treatments are available


4:Vaginitis or Cervicitis: Inflammation or swelling and infection of the vagina or cervix. Treatment depends on the cause.


5:Cervical polyps: Cervical polyps are smooth, red or purple, finger-like growths that grow out of the mucuos layer of the cervix or the cervical canal. Cervical polyps are extremely fragile, extending out of the cervix, and easily and painlessly removed.


6:Trichomoniasis: A usually sexually transmitted disease caused by protozoan. Can also be passed to newborns during vaginal birth by infected mothers. Although rare, transmission is also possible in tap water, hot tubs, urine, on toilet seats, and in swimming pools. May cause vaginitis.


7:Vaginal Yeast Infection: An overgrowth of the normal fungi that inhabits the vaginal area. Common symptoms include itching, burning, and an odorless, white, cheese-like discharge.


8:Endometritis or adenomyosis: Endometritis is defined by Dorland's Medical Dictionary, 27th Edition as an inflammation of the endometrium (the innermost layer of the uterus). Both conditions are associated with endometriosis. Adenomysis is when endometrial tissue attaches itself to the uterus, or another organ such as the ovaries, and grows outside of the uterus


9:Uterine polyps: Uterine polyps occur when the endometrium overgrows causing these protrusions into the uterus. It is extremely rare for these growths to grow in a way that is either benign or malignant. Women with uterine polyps frequently experience bleeding between periods (metrorrhagia), other symptoms includes vaginal bleeding after sex, spotting, menorrhagia, bleeding after menopause, and breakthrough bleeding during hormone therapy. Hysteroscopic-guided curettage is the prefered treatment, since the normal D&C is basically an unguided procedure that may miss many of the uterine polyps.


10:Fibroid tumors: Uterine fibroid tumors are usually benign tumors. They are solid masses made of fibrous tissue. Fibroid tumors are rarely malignant. Symptoms of fibroid tumors vary among women, with some women never experiencing any symptoms at all. Women who can wait until menopause will see their fibroids shrink and disappear once their bodies stop producing estrogen. It's important that women with fibroids make sure they never take estrogen, in any form including birth control pills, since estrogen increases fibroid growth. Several treatments are currently available for uterine fibroid tumors from myomectomy and uterine artery embolization to the traditional hysterectomy.

Answer 8

yes, it is normal to have this kind of bleeding when your hymen is broken. Wait to see if if stops hapening. However, if it persists or sex is really painful and the blood is bright red, call your Dr.

Answer 9

I don't believe it's your hymen, I think ur body is still getting adjusted to the "foreign body". It's probably little cuts from being stretched... happened to my 2nd girlfriend...it'll stop...

Answer 10

Do you have a gynecologist? You really should be checked out by your MD to make sure it is nothing serious. Does it hurt?

Answer 11

If it doesn't stop then I would go see your gynecolegist. I only experienced bleeding my first time. Good luck.
