GYN exam: Bleeding after intercourse can be from many causes: inflammation, infection, vaginal tear or cuts, aggressive sexual intercourse/rouch sex, condom irritation vaginal dryness or positions. Abstain for 3 days- then resume SLOWLY- spend at least 15-20 minutes on foreplay and adequate lubrication. If bleeding resumes, you need a GYN pelvic exam.
