Bleeding After Intercourse
Bleeding after intercourse is generally a sign something is wrong, like cervicitis. There are, however, some exceptions to this rule. For example, many women find they bleed after the first time they have sex. In women who have already been sexually active, bleeding shouldn't generally occur after sex.
Infections like cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease can potentially cause bleeding after intercourse. Other potential causes include tears in the vagina or vulva, polyps or cancer.5NHS Choices, NHS, www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/womens-health/what-causes-a-woman-to-bleed-after-sex/
