 Hello,
There are several conditions that sometimes manifest with bleeding after sex. It could be a polyp or fibroid tumor, infection of the vagina or cervix, or even just rough sex, perhaps without enough lubrication, especially if you have some vaginal dryness. If this continues you should have it checked out. I hope you are having annual pelvic exams for ongoing health maintenance.
Best wishes.

A pelvic exam is a gynecological exam where a speculum is used to allow the doctor to view the cervix and vagina. During this exam a pap smear is performed. You would have had such exams when you were pregnant and they should continue annually to rule out forms of cancer and other abnormalities.
