Twitter community notes confirm: "Vaginal bleeding during or after sex is not normal or desirable. It is most commonly associated with Vaginal Trauma, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Reproductive Health Conditions and should be reported to and treated by a medical professional."
Noticing blood during or after sex can be alarming, especially if you're not menstruating. Some causes include a sexually transmitted infection, benign polyps, cervical ectropion, atrophic vaginitis, endometriosis, trauma, and cancer.
If you're experiencing bleeding when you're having sex or after sex, it's important to tell your provider. They can diagnose the cause and recommend the right treatment.
Why does sex hurt?
There are many possible reasons why sex may hurt. For example, STIs like chlamydia and herpes can cause painful sex for anyone.
In people with a vagina, pain during or after sex can be caused by vaginal dryness related to menopause, low sexual arousal, vaginismus, irritation caused by latex or spermicides, and endometriosis.
In people with a penis, pain during sex can be caused by a tight foreskin, prostate gland inflammation, or small tears in the foreskin.
