A member asked:

My vagina sometimes bleeds during sex and hurts afterwards. ive been on mirena (levonorgestrel) for 6 mos. is this normal or do i have something?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not normal: It is important to see your GYN because sexual intercourse should not hurt or cause bleeding in the normal course of things.
