A member asked:

I had a miscarriage 2 cycles ago. now i'm experiencing light bleeding after sex, lasting longer than a day. is it normal or could it be an infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be.: Any bleeding after sex is not normal and need to be investigated by a gynecologist in the office. Since you had a miscarriage not long time ago that also needs to be looked at it if any connection.
