A member asked:

Bleeding after sex .. is it a pregnancy symptom?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Nikolaos Zacharias answered

Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Can be.: The cervix and vagina become engorged with blood vessels as a result of pregnancy hormones and physiology. Ergo, sex is more likely to cause spotting during pregnancy; bleeding like a period is never normal in pregnancy and prompt medical attention is warranted.
