" Causes of bleeding after sex "
Bleeding after sex can be a sign of a health condition:
an infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as chlamydia
vaginal dryness (atrophic vaginitis) caused by reduced vaginal secretions after the menopause
damage to the vagina, such as tears caused by childbirth, or by dryness or friction during sex
cervical or endometrial polyps (benign or non-cancerous growths in the womb or the lining of the cervix)
cervical ectropion (also known as cervical erosion), where there is an inflamed area on the surface of the cervix
In rare instances, bleeding after sex can be a sign of cervical or vaginal cancer.
