Post Coital Bleeding After a Long Period of Abstinence Posted: 08-15-07 19:48pm
After an abstinence of several years, I
experienced bleeding after intercourse.
The sex was not at all rough, but I did
experience an aching sensation in my
abdomen and light bleeding that lasted
until morning.
I am on birth control (the ring) and have
no STDs (tested). Can't seem to find much
information on this situation. Can anyone
shed light?

Bleeding after sex is actually really
common- regardless of how long it's been
since you've had sex. Especially if he
fingered you at all during foreplay,
because fingernails are nasty things to a
vagina. Or if you weren't properly
lubricated, small tears or scratches can
happen in your vagina or the labia minora.
If the sex was particularly rough or he
was banging on your vagina, that would
cause the soreness even if it didn't hurt
at the time.
If the ring is bothering you during sex,
you can take it out. Many times my husband
would pull out when we were done and the
ring would be around his penis, it was
quite funny. So if it gets in the way,
just take it out before and put it back in
after. But don't ever leave it out for
more than three hours.
If your vagina feels irritated (like it's
scratchy or hurts to pee, etc.)and you
don't think it's related to
lubrication,etc. then that could be due
to the ring.

I wouldn't freak out at all... so many
fairly harmless things can cuse bleeding
during sex that it's nothing to worry
about. Dryness, nails, abrasion...

I would discuss this with an ob-gyn.
Bleeding after sex can be signs of
something else.
