Blood during sexual intercourse?!


Question: I had sex with my boyfriend last night. Suddenly, I felt a stream of blood running down my legs and he was all bloody too! I was scared to death. First, I though I got my period - but that wasn't the case. I'm really terrified, it wasn't like "a bit of blood", my legs were all covered with it and so was he. I know I should visit a doctor, but I'm not scheduled until next week. Has anyone had similar problems, can anyone at least suppose what is it about?!

Obviously, it makes sense to see a doctor. You're doing that, but not for another week. That's okay. To make you feel better (and less freaked out) in the meantime, I suggest you try a little experiment.

Get a glass of warm water. Then put two small drops of red food coloring in the water. Stir it. Keep adding (and counting) one drop at a time until the entire glass of water looks completely dark red (like blood). 6 tiny drops of food dye will make the whole glass bright red!

On a smaller scale, the natural clear fluids in your vagina (especially during intercourse when you are "wet"), you probably only really lost a drop or two of actual blood. As long as you didn't continue to bleed heavily (hemorrage) after you stopped, then I wouldn't worry too much. The friction of sexual intercourse always makes small tears on the vaginal walls, though usually not enough to bleed (thus the reason why HIV is most commonly transferred through sex, even though it's blood to blood). If you are not wet enough, or he's being too rough, this increases the friction and causes more tearing, perhaps enough to bleed a little.

One of the major reasons that people don't want to have sex while a woman is on her period is because blood gets all over the place. The wetness of the female increases, then the guy has some wetness, then the blood gets spread around... you get the picture.

So, I hope I've helped you calm down a bit. Obviously, still go to the doctor and get checked out to make sure your uterus and cervix are fine.... but I think you'll be okay!

Was it your first time?

Maybe he went to far, or something, but im not sure, it sounds like you had a lot of blood, but if the bleeding has stopped, just have to wait to see what the doctors say

if this is ur first time then yes its normal. but if not then yah idk.

I have problems like that too. Are you on birth control? Sometimes when I forget or take it late I start to bleed a lot too. Also It could be that your boyfriend is penetrating too hard. You should talk to your doctor.

I have similar problems but my problem is a tumor in my uterus and an enflamed cervix. You shoud have yourself checked out.

it sounds to me like your Hymen (Cherry) broke, dont worry, everybodys breaks, some peoples even break during sports, but next time, dont be scared, because you know what? It wont do it, cause its already gone. It sux being a girl eh?
I rem. when mine had broken, it was disg. yeah. But eh, he wanted it...
