Many reasons: Many conditions can cause bleeding after or during sex. You could have something wrong with the cervix, a polyp, an infection or bleeding from an external skin abrasion. You might want to see your gyn for an exam to see if the doc can find a problem to fix. Hopefully this sends you in the right direction. Best wishes.

See your gyn: There are multiple possible reasons for this problem and therefore you should see a gynecologist for evaluation. Some reaons are quick and easy to igure out and others may need more extensive evaluation. Good luck.

Bleeding from sex: Bleeding from sex can occur from rough sex, trauma to the soft tissues of the vagina, tears in the mucosal lining or irritation and infection of the cervix.

Get it checked out: The bleeding is most likely coming from the cervix. You could have an infection or just "friable" cervix that bleeds easily on contact. You should see your doctor.

Possible reasons.: If you are postmenopausal you may have thinner and more friable vaginal tissue with fewer secretions. If there is inadequate foreplay, the vagina may not be lubricated sufficiently for intercourse.

Could be: Several things: most likely relation to period (especially if they're somewhat irregular) or very vigorous sex especially after a dry spell. Is there pain associated? Any chance you are/were pregnant? If it persists, I'd suggest you see your gyn.

Bleeding: There are a variety of reasons that this is occurring but the most ominous belongs to cancer. Your best interests are therefore served by being evaluated by your physician as soon as you can.
