    Question

    I've had sex once before tonight just over a year ago, but I didn't bleed at all. Tonight I was going to have sex with a different partner, but my vagina was way too tight and he could only get the head of his penis inside. He was applying extreme pressure and force to get in the whole time, but it wouldn't go in. Eventually he finished and I started to feel myself gushing liquid out of my vagina.

    I finally got home and realized my pants were completely drenched in blood and when I went to the bathroom a huge clump of jelly-like blood came out. As I sat on the toilet, liquid blood just started pouring out of me. I would describe it as excess bleeding. What does this mean? Am I ok?


    Answer

    That sounds a little scary and plenty of incentive to see a doctor. Please do not wait - make an appointment for an exam!
