One of the most common complaints at the gynecologist's appointment is spotting after a gentle intercourse. This phenomenon in modern medicine is called "postcoital bleeding". The reasons that cause it can be very many. We will talk about them below, and also tell you why there may be brown discharge after a gentle act. I would like to immediately note that this phenomenon is absolutely abnormal and is the reason for a visit to a gynecologist, as it may indicate serious diseases.

Reasons

1. Your partner is to blame. During sudden movements or deep penetration during intercourse, damage to the genitals is possible. As a rule, in addition to blood, pain will also be present.
2. It's your partner's fault again. This time it's not about his cruelty, but about diseases. An extremely rare situation is the presence of bloodin semen. In practice, this phenomenon does not occur so often, but it cannot be ruled out. For a man, the presence of blood indicates diseases of the urinary tract.



3. Bleeding after a gentle act often occurs with inflammatory processes of the genitals and vagina. Moreover, they can be caused by both a fungal infection and non-compliance with the simplest rules of hygiene. But there is an important BUT here: bleeding will occur not only during sex.
4. The answer to the question of what may cause spotting after a gentle act - diseases transmitted during sex. Additional symptoms are itching and burning.
5. Blood during ovulation or on days close to this process is considered normal. But if you're worried, you can see a doctor who can prescribe herbal remedies for you.
6. The use of oral contraceptives causes spotting after a gentle intercourse due to a significant thinning of the uterine membrane. Even their untimely use can cause such a reaction from the body.
7. Pathological changes in the structure of the reproductive system, for example, in the cells of the cervix.
8. Erosions and polyps are the most common cause of the phenomenon we are considering. They are easily treated.



9. Endometriosis. In addition to bleeding, he is also characterized by bleeding in the middle of the menstrual cycle.

All of the above reasons are subject to elimination. The most important thing is to contact the clinic as soon as possible. However, there are more serious diseases, the symptom of which may be bleeding after sex:

• ruptured ovarian cyst;
• started miscarriage;
• ectopic pregnancy;
• ovarian rupture.

Other signs of these causes are increased sweating, increased heart rate, weakness, bleeding after sex, accompanied by severe pain, pale skin, weakness, dizziness. If you find such discharge after intercourse in yourself, then immediately call an ambulance.
