A member asked:

Why a virgin girl's vagina starts bleeding at her first sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Kevin O'neil answered

Specializes in Urogynecology

Normal: Women who have not had sex yet, often have some extra skin around the opening of the vagina called the hymen. This skin will stretch and sometimes tear and bleed when she first has sex. This is normal. Also, women who are very physically active may have already stretched the hymen so it may not bleed with first intercourse.

I had sex for the first time and am now experiencing pretty excessive bleeding from my vagina. It has been two days since and I have been bleeding for over 12 hours nonstop. I can't really tell if I tore something (and if it should be bleeding that much)
