Bleeding during intercourse?

Question

Is it possible for a woman to bleed during intercourse even though she is done with her period and that she isn't a virgin?

I am seeing someone who is a bit bigger than guys that I dated previously and we had s*x yesterday....during s*x he noticed that I was bleeding. Is this normal?

Answer 1

I would say it all depends on how much you are bleeding.  It does happen, however I would check with your doctor to be safe.

Yes this can happen.  But don't worry it will heal and be able to handel the bigger size

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 6

its possible that it has something to do with his size, but u may want to go to the doc.

Answer 7

It's not "normal" but it is possible - check with your doctor as soon as you can and next time post this in the "womans health" (you'll get better, more accurate answers)  Good Luck

Answer 8

It could be, definitely, but maybe you should see your gynecologist as it could be an indication of some sort of STD or vaginal infection.

Dear Anne

I am 17 years old. I often suffer vaginal bleeding during s*x. It is not painful. But it usually turns off me and my boyfriend. Is this normal or should I see a doctor ? Thanks in advance. Roselene

Dear Roselene

No, s*x shouldn't make you bleed. It could be something as simple as his accidentally scratching you if his nails are sharp or ragged. Maybe you're just experiencing spotting between periods and that coincides with when you're having s*x. It's possible that it's hormonal if your body's still establishing a regular pattern of menstruation.

But there are other, more troubling possibilities so you do need to see a doctor which will hopefully set your mind at rest. Good luck.



Dear Dr Patti

I have been sexually active for five years and with the same partner for seven months. But for the past month-and-a-half, I bleed lightly during and after making love. Also, at first, s*x is a little painful. This has never happened to me before and we are both worried. Do you have any idea as to what may be causing this and what it is?

Dear M

First, see your GP for a check-up. You may have a little polyp, cyst or sore that is re-opening from the stretching or friction inside when you make love; or you may have something else that requires further treatment. Given the soaring incidence of sexually-transmitted diseases, such as chlamydia, herpes and human papilloma virus, (which, along with being the source of genital warts, is the cause of most cases of cervical cancer), it's wise to be safe rather than sorry.

If your GP says everything is okay from a medical point of view, then you want to look at what's going on in bed. Perhaps you are too dry during penetrative s*x. Make sure you use plenty of lubrication during sexual contact, especially if you are not sufficiently stimulated or find it hard to maintain arousal. It's only when a woman stays turned on that she produces the natural lubricating fluids that keep things moving smoothly inside her v****a.

The aspect of pain also troubles me and makes me think that you may not be completely prepared before he enters you. Talk with your partner about what turns you on and what doesn?t, to help you to achieve the right level of arousal before penetration. s*x is a pleasure-based experience. Unfortunately, when some women feel a painful sensation during s*x, they then shut down to avoid feeling that same pain again. If you find that you are shutting down because you are worried about the possibility of s*x being painful, and you are trapped in a vicious circle, then you may need more than lubrication. Make sure you address these issues, before you end up with much more complex challenges in bed.

Answer 10

There are four possible reasons that you were bleeding

1. you started you period during sexual intercourse

but your not bleeding still so i dont think thats the case.

2. the other guys you were with were to small and you tore with the guy you had s*x with i had a small bit of spotting when i tore the first time

3. your cherry never got popped the first times you had s*x so this is another reason you would bleed during intercourse

4.you were pregnant and you lost the baby during s*x yesterday

Answer 11

If it persists, see a doctor.

Answer 12

Yes, especially if he is large like you say or it has been a long time since you slept with anyone.  I am not a virgin and I bled for about the first month with my new boyfriend because it had been a year and he is large.  You know your boyfriend thinks he's the "man" now, so just laugh about it. :)
