Question
I just recently started having sex again after quite some time and every time I have sex I bleed a little after. Sometimes it?s red and sometimes its brown....is something wrong with me?
Answer
Since your sexual behavior has changed, please go see your doctor for an annual pap smear, sexually transmitted infection screening and exam. Bleeding every time you have sex is not usual, but knowing why is much better than worrying. You can chat about birth control, too!
