Vaginal bleeding during sex (contact bleeding) should be taken very seriously; you must visit your gynecologist as soon as possible. Contact bleeding could be a sign of precancerous and/or cancerous lesion of the cervix. A vaginal examination with a colposcopy and Pap-test is requested in protocol for diagnosing contact bleeding.


The condition a having rare or infrequent periods (or cycles longer than 35 days) is called oligomenorrhea. Oligomenorrhea is manifestation of the decreased function (hypogonadism) of the axis hypothalamus-pituitary gland-ovaries.
