What can be the cause of bleeding on fifth day after intercourse?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have had my last menstruation a month back. And it lasted for seven days as usual. My cycle is 38 days and my period always comes on time. I have had intercourse five days ago and did bleed a bit that day. It stopped and yesterday I started to bleed again but this time it feels like at the beginning of my period. I should get my period after a week. What can be the cause of the bleeding? I am 19 years old. Just started to be sexually active. I am 5.05 feet in height and105 lbs in weight.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If you have mild blood spotting than rule out pregnancy by blood hCG test after three weeks of LMP (last menstrual period). For moderate to heavy bleeding your detail evaluation should be done. Sometime during few initial intercourses, vaginal tear can lead to bleeding. So per speculum examination should be done for that. Check serum TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and serum random blood sugar estimation to rule out thyroid and diabetes problem. Pelvic examination should be done and if needed USG scan done to check ovarian cyst, polyp, fibroid, etc. like problems.
Take care.
