A member asked:

Im currently breastfeeding my 8mo old&not having cycles, but when i engage in sexual intercourse i always bleed kinda heavy & cramp is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: While it is likely nothing serious, it is not normal to frequently or persistently have bleeding and pain after intercourse. I would advise you see your gynecologist for evaluation.
