when my boyfriend fingers me i bleed? It hasn't always been like this only the past 3 times. The first time it bled there was quite alot of blood, but the 2nd and 3rd time there was only a small amount. Is this serious? Or is just what they call "popping of the cherry"? Please help me.

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
Breaking of hymen or rupture of hymen usually causes bleeding only once. If you are having bleeding during or after every sexual contact, then it could signal possibility of infection. Do not ignore your symptoms. Visit your doctor/gynecologist for a vaginal swab/smear test done to rule out infections. If infection is detected, get your partner also treated simultaneously to prevent chances of re-infection. Avoid use of harsh soap/deodorant or perfume. Avoid vaginal douching. Use loose cotton undergarments and avoid tight fitting clothes. Drink plenty of water. Avoid caffeinated and carbonated beverages. Make sure that your partner’s hands are washed with soap and water before ‘fingering’ you to maintain hygiene and prevent infection.
Take care.
