bleeding during sex
| Wed, 11-02-2005 - 2:49pm |
I sometimes bleed during sex when it is slightly rougher than normal. This has been a reoccurring issue since I become sexually active, and I was told that I shouldn't worry. However, I don't know if this is a problem, and I would like to get it checked out if it is. Could anyone tell me?

Hi ivil_alice, welcome!
It's not all that unusual to sometimes bleed a bit after energetic intercourse, especially if you are on birth control pills. There is a very thin layer of cells covering the tip of your cervix and they can be thinned even more by the hormones in BCPs so that if your cervix is bumped during deep penetration bleeding can often occur. As long as the bleeding is very light and occasional I don't think you have anything to worry about but if you haven't talked to your doctor about it already you might want to mention it on your next visit and see what s/he says. Thanks for posting. Keep in touch and let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
