Question

Could a lightly ruptured hymen still bleed during the first intercourse?

Answer 1

Intercourse is the roughest on females.  We can have bleeding after any number of times we've had intercourse.  Because of the friction of s*x, cells are rubbed off our delicate linings and too many cells lost can lead to bleeding.  Sometimes the perineum (bottom of the vaginal opening) can stretch a bit too much and bleed just a bit.  If it's bleeding like a period and you aren't on your period, it could be something else and I would have that checked out.
