Age Spots Cause

Question by thetigersnameistony: What are other causes for vaginal bleeding after intercourse other than STDs or tearing of the vaginal walls?
As a 30 year old female, I can honestly say I probably don’t engage in sexual activities as much as the normal person my age, so I have had a hard time determining if the bleeding I am having is related to intercourse. This has gone on for years, so I doubt it is STD related because I have been tested through the years. More recently I have have noticed that the bleeding definately appears the day after intercourse and it fools me into thinking I am getting my period.

It is not the bleeding you get when you have tissue tearing. It definately is more like spotting and lasts a day or so. I even feel like I have cramps.

For years I had pain during intercourse but the doctor never really saw cause for alarm and because I was never really that sexually experienced, (probably cuz it hurt.) I was never sure what was normal or not.

No I notice I don’t have as much pain, but the bleeding thing is more an issue.

I believe I have hormone imbalances. Could this be related?

You could possibly have an illness called endometriosis. Those are some of the symptoms that people can have with endo. Symptoms and severity of symptoms varies greatly from person to person. You might want to ask your doc and see if he thinks you might have it. Birth control pills help reduce a lot of the symptoms. Yasmin has been the best for me personally, all others I start getting all the symptoms back after 6 months or so.

    I am going through the same thing. I am married though and have sex often. I just started the bleeding and pain during sex. I have been to the Dr. (whom I TRUST!!! ) 2 times this week. We did a sonogram to see if I have a fibroid or a polyp on my cervix or uterus. There was nothing on the sonogram. I am going to end up needing to have a uterine biopsy if this continues.

    You need to have a pap smear, sono of the ovaries and uterus to check for fibroids and polyps. After that you might want to be tested for endometriosis.

    It could be any of the things I listed above or just a hormone imbalance. BUT…. Those are also symptoms of cervical or uterine cancer. Best to get it all checked out!!

    Good luck and Im so sorry that sex has been painful for you for so long!! That is a bummer!!

    GOD BLESS and GOOD LUCK!!

    When you don’t have sex frequently, it may cause vaginal bleeding, it will probably continue to happen untill your body gets used to having sex. Painful urination is also normal after having sex, and it doesn’t mean you have an std, it only means that during sex your partner was rubbing against the spot you pee. I’m assuming if it hurts you to have sex, that you probably need to find a position your comfortable in. It wouldn’t be a hormone imbalance unless it happens all the time. If sex is the cause of it, than the sex is the problem. If your vagina is fine for the rest of the time you don’t have sex, then maybe you aren’t wet enough down there. Dry sex can be quite painful and lead to cramps and bleeding even if you’ve been having sex your whole life. I would suggest ky jelly brand personal lubricant to take care of that problem. If you can, I would also go see a doctor, just to make sure everything is alright, maybe he can tell you how to fix the problem even if nothing is wrong with you.
