Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a female. I had unprotected intercourse with my boyfriend last night. Is this safe? Every time after fingering, I had some bleeding.

After intercourse, I got a thick liquid with blood. Is this normal?

Kindly help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

If you are not sure whether your boyfriend has any sexually transmitted infections, you can do these tests to rule it out. You can do TPHA (Treponema pallidum hemagglutination), herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 and 2 IgG (immunoglobulin G), herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 and 2 IgM (immunoglobulin M), chlamydia trachomatis IgG, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) 1 and 2 antibody screening test, and HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen). If you are worried about pregnancy, you can plan to take emergency contraceptive pills.

Bleeding can occur due to an infection in the vagina. It can cause bleeding itself, or it can cause dryness resulting in bleeding. Hymen breakage can cause bleeding in a few females if it is their first time having sex. You can have an allergy to semen, and it can be identified by using condoms. Dryness in the vagina can cause bleeding in the vagina. It can occur due to infection, improper foreplay, dehydration, age factor, and hormonal imbalance.

You can have bleeding in the vagina due to forceful sex, normal menstrual bleeding if you have an early period, bleeding disorders, or vaginismus. It is a fear during sex, and it causes the muscles of the genitals to contract and cause pain. You can have bleeding due to eczema and deep penetration in a few positions during sex.

Kindly share some details to reach a definitive diagnosis, and proper management can be planned.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
