Dr. Chutatip Poonsatta, M.D., an Obstetrics and Gynecology – Gynecologic Laparoscopy specialist of Vejthani Hospital explained that postcoital bleeding or bleeding after sexual intercourse might be caused by an ordinary vaginal infection or some kind of cancer. Somehow, the blood might come from inside or outside of the vagina, cervix, or uterus.
Common Causes of Postcoital Bleeding
- Sexually Transmitted Infection such as Gonococcus infection, Chlamydia infection, and Trichomonas infection which cause cervix inflammation or pelvic inflammation.

Therefore, people with cervical ectropion will easily bleed after sexual intercourse. No worries! Cervical ectropion is not a severe disease, it can occur in pregnant women, women after childbirth (Postpartum bleeding), teenagers, or people who regularly consume birth control pills.
- Polyp on the cervix or Polyp in the uterus
- Vaginal dryness is caused by hormonal changes or menopause.
- Open sore on the cervix or in the uterus which may be caused by surgery or sexual intercourse.
