Some women often find blood in their vaginal discharge after sexual intercourse, which belongs to non menstrual bleeding and should be considered as an abnormal phenomenon. Especially if the bleeding lasts for a long time, it will make women very worried about their health. So, how long does it take for vaginal discharge to heal after sexual activity?
After sexual intercourse, women may have blood in their vaginal discharge. If they are in the ovulation period, it may be the cause of ovulation bleeding, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. And this type of bleeding will be minimal, mostly cleaning up within 3-5 days. The main cause is the decrease in estrogen and progesterone secretion levels in women's bodies during ovulation, which may lead to a small amount of shedding of the endometrium and ovulation bleeding.
If a woman engages in sexual intercourse immediately after her menstrual period, and there is blood in the vaginal discharge, it may indicate that the menstrual flow is not very clean. Sexual intercourse can cause uterine contractions, leading to the discharge of a small amount of accumulated menstrual blood, resulting in the presence of blood in the vaginal discharge. This situation usually gets completely clean in one or two days. Don't be too nervous about this, just take good care of the hygiene and cleanliness of the perineum.
Pathological reasons can also lead to contact bleeding after sexual activity, such as endometrial polyps, cervical polyps, etc., which are common pathological causes of bleeding after sexual activity. Generally, the bleeding time may be relatively long. For bleeding after sexual activity, it is recommended to seek medical examination as much as possible to eliminate gynecological diseases as early as possible to ensure physical health.
