Yes, bleeding during or after intercourse
can be a cause for concern. Bleeding
after intercourse (post-coital bleeding)
can be due to many reasons such as:
infection, a benign polyps of the cervix,
use of IUD or diaphragm, or a vaginal
tear. You may consult a gynecologist for
advice about how to diagnose the cause of
bleeding and its treatment.
