A member asked:

What does it mean when i have a full menstrual cycle, stop for a full 24 hours, have intercourse, bleed for 20 minutes and the completely stop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bleeding: The uterine lining and cervix may well have had some residual bogginess and the intercourse precipitated the bleeding. If bleeding recurs, your gynecologist is best qualified to advise you.
