**Bleeding after Sex** Unsure what to do - every time I have sex with my boyfriend it can be sore in certain positions and some times burning sensation when using a lot of lube. After sex when I go toilet it burns and there is a small amount of light blood when I wipe. It is only on the first wipe that I get blood and it’s a very light red/pink colour. I have had an internal scan, pelvis scan and swobs all clear so don’t know what to do. Doctor said there is little bumps just inside that is normal for someone on the pill so friction or rubbing of them could cause bleeding? Afraid to go to gynaecologist!

sames been happening with me, check with your camera and torch next time, after it happens i can see a little split at the bottom of my entrance, just not proper lubrication if it’s that

Are you getting 30+ minutes of foreplay focused on getting you aroused?

@onthepillxo Does it happen every time and still happen for you? I e tried loads of lube

pretty much, trying to incorporate more foreplay atm and don’t use lube

@aurielle No we don’t do 30+ minutes foreplay as we can’t help to start! It’s bad when we are having a quicky and have hardly any foreplay just lube it can be very tight!

@Newgirl96 foreplay isn't optional when it comes to penetrative sex, it's how your body gets prepared for it without hurting yourself. Even if you're eager to get started I can't imagine you're enjoying it much with the pain and burning

@aurielle Yes we will give 30 mins plus, its hard as we don’t live together, still living at home with parents and only see each other on the weekends so its tough not to get started when we see each other or have sex quickly without being heard

You really need more foreplay. You’re basically forcing your body to have sex when it’s not ready.

If you do foreplay, however, and you still are continuing to bleed then you need to see a doctor.
