Q: Spotting during sex
asked by: DoctorQuestion on February 9th, 2008
i had sex yesterday, after i felt fine. we messed around at first but then he put a condom on before he went in. early this morning i woke up about 5:45am and had to pee. I went to the bathroom and noticed that when i wiped i was bleeding. it wasnt in my pee just when i wiped. i tried to go back to bed but i had this pain in my stomach and feeling like i had to pee again but didnt. my back was hurting and the pain in my stomach was kind of sharp. after falling asleep i woke up around 10, felt fine and went to the bathroom and again i was bleeding when i wiped. for a few minutes after i went to the bathroom i was feeling a little pressure and pain in my stomach but it went away and was just a faint pain in my lower stomach area. i havent had sex for about 2-3 months, so i was wondering if this is normal or do i need to have it checked out.

Vaginal bleeding that occurs 10 days after your last menstrual period is called spotting. It doesn’t seem likely that sex caused that occurrence of spotting but that it is either functional or organic in nature. Functional bleeding is due to a hormonal imbalance in the axis of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovaries. Organic bleeding is due to infection, tumor, polyp, myoma, etc. You can consult your gynecologist about the spotting for advice and to receive a more precise diagnosis.
