Get it checked: Bleeding after sex is referred to as postcoital bleeding. This can happen due to many different reasons. More commonly, there might be some minor inflammatory process due to a yeast infection or bv, but it could also be related to hpv induced infection and precancerous changes of the cervix. Sometimes cervical polyps that are prolapsing can cause bleeding as well.

Bleeding after sex: Blood from your cervix after a sexual encounter may be normal. But, i would worry and test for any stds or other inflammatory issues before giving you a clean bill of health. Given your age i would recommend a thorough gyn visit with exam and testing. Please do not just assume this is nothing.
