Question
So I had sex with my boyfriend last night, but I haven't had sex in a long time. I bleed all over the place. This is not my 1st or 2nd time having intercourse. I've done it many times. I just don't understand why I bled so much. Do you know why I bled?
Answer
Bleeding after intercourse can be a symptom of a sexually transmitted infection (STI/STD). If you have not seen your doctor for your annual exam, make an appointment and get screened for STDs.
