Vaginal Bleeding after sex?!

Vaginal Bleeding after sex?

After having sex with my boyfriend this morning I went to the restroom and discovered I was bleeding. My period was last week, it wasn't my first time having sex, and the sex wasn't rough.

I have been bleeding for about ten hours and its not heavy or painful and we are on vacation so I don't know if I should go to the doctor or wait til I get home to have it checked out. I am a little worried but I am not in pain at all. My boyfriend is also worried that he has caused the bleeding.

Does anyone know reason why bleeding occurs even if its not painful.

I've been working as a patient advocate for Hutzel Hospital for about 8 years now in the OB dept and have seen things like this many times. anorexia, STDs, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, yeast infections, or birth control methods are some of the less serious problems that could be causing your bleeding. Also, sex doesn't always have to be rough for a woman to be slightly cut or torn. Continuous bleeding could be the result of a very small, but constantly irritated cyst or wound . I would suggest waiting until after you've slept about 6 hours to make your "doctor visit" decision. If you're still bleeding after this then go ahead and get check out. But you're probably just fine :)
