[Potentially NSFW?] Vaginal bleeding during & after intercourse?

Where are you in your menstrual cycle? This could very easily be spotting, or you’re about to get your period.

What type of cancer? Go to the doctor, get a pap; it’s a good idea either way, especially for a cancer survivor.

Why not ask a doctor. That is what you will wind up doing anyway. Unexplained bleeding out of any opening merits medical opinion.

@Aethelflaed, it was kidney cancer, and I was young. But I’ve had high dose radiation to my pelvic area… so I’m thinking now maybe this had some effect on me down there. I will go to the doctor, I’m just wondering (and worrying) what it could be in the mean time!

From a doctor, you need to see your doctor right now, it may be nothing, but it could also be very serious. You will most likely be referred to a gynecologist. Go now!

You’re very young and if your sexual introduction is fairly new, might just be part of your bodies adjustments, but, yes, talk with your doctor. Don’t jump to conclusions because of your history. Depending on the cancer you survived it may have no connection whatsoever. Do not waste time speculating, get checked out.

Scary, huh? It could be anything and it could be nothing. Get to a physician ASAP. And let’s hope it’s nothing. We’ll be thinking about you.

I would say this is relatively urgent, if the blood is not menstrual. You need, at minimum a pelvic exam. When a young woman becomes sexually active is when she should visit her gyno and have an exam. Not knowing is the most frightening, so get to your doctor and find out. Pronto.

I’ve been with girls before who have bled even though they weren’t on their period (or virgins, yada yada). In each case it wasn’t serious, just should’ve used more lube…. But better safe than sorry, go get it checked out.

I with there was a way to post a general rule stating
If you feel the need to ask if you should see a doctor: the answer is “yes”
