Bleeding during sexual intercourse is a symptom that requires attention and may be caused by various factors. The main causes include the following:
1. Rough sexual activity may lead to vaginal wall lacerations, resulting in bleeding.
2. Cervical diseases, such as cervicitis, cervical polyps, or cervical cancer, may also cause bleeding during intercourse. These conditions may cause local tissue congestion and fragility, making bleeding more likely during sexual activity.
3. Submucosal uterine fibroids, hormonal imbalances, and other issues may also cause similar symptoms.
Therefore, if bleeding during sexual intercourse occurs, timely medical examination is recommended to determine the specific cause and receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, maintaining good lifestyle habits and undergoing regular check-ups are important measures for preventing gynecological diseases.
