Heavy Bleeding After First Sex Posted: 04-13-07 07:08am
hi there i have a question i hope you can
help me wit. i recently had sex for the
first time and afterwards kept bleeding
for hours i ended up in the hospital i was
on holiday in turkey at the time so could
not speak to the doctors about what
happened as they had not good english. the
bleeding stopped after a few hours but was
really bad. now im afraid to have sex
again incase this happens again. i no you
bleed when your hymen breaks but not as
much as i did and i was not due my period
at the time. any info would be great both
me and my boyfriend are afraid it will
happen again. thanks

I don't really know- a little bleeding is
normal but not enough so you have to go to
the hospital. I would go see my gyno. In
my opinion, if you're having sex at all it
is a good idea to have a good relationship
with your gynocologist. They should be
able to answer questions and tell you if
it is safe to have sex again.
I would be scared to do it again, too!
Good luck

Actually, there is usually little or no
bleeding involved when the hymen breaks.
Also, most women tear their hymen long
before they ever have sex. Now, it is
certainly possible that you are one of the
women in the minority here with a really
tough and durable hymen, but I just wanted
to clear up that misconception.
It is possible that you tore some skin
inside the vagina. Many woman tear skin
inside without even realizing it. It can
bleed quite a bit without even hurting.
Many people do not realize just how
fragile the inside of the vagina is. It
can tear from fingernails or from being
too dry during sex.
Like Georgia said, the only way to know
for sure is to talk to an ob-gyn. You're
supposed to go get looked at when you
become sexually active anyway.
