Bleeding with sex?????

Hi all -

I will be 11 weeks post op tomorrow. I got cleared for "hanky panky" (as my gyn calls it) at 7 weeks. Everything has been fantastic.

No bleeding...no pain...no big "O" problems...until last night. I was with a VERY well endowed man and I started to bleed. It left a good size spot on the bed and just a bit of residual blood this morning.

Anyone else experience this? I figured as long as the residual stops today I should be ok. Anyone think I've caused any damage???

Thanks gals

Coleen

Hi Coleen

Sorry to be so crass but how "energetic" were you? I found in the early stages if I was too energetic I also had spotting, it did go away but gave me a fright nonetheless.

Keep an eye on it, and give your doc a call if you are unsure.

Fairly energetic. I was very slow and careful the first few times but everything seemed fine. I have been more "energetic" with someone else but he is average in size. I'm assuming this may have had something to do with it also.

Thanks

Coleen,

I'm so glad you posted this when you did. I am SIX MONTHS post-op and just had this problem this morning. I resumed intercourse at six weeks with no problems. My spouse is average size. This morning I used my dildo (which is substantially bigger) for the first time since surgery. Now I have bleeding. It's not a lot, but enough to wear a mini pad. I'm waiting to see how long this will last. I'm hesitant to call the doctor. I know they've seen/heard everything, but it's a little embarrassing!!! I am assuming that in this case, size DOES matter. Has anyone else had this? Especially at this far post-op. Hopefully Coleen, we'll find out this is common and no big deal.

Hi all

You should visit the site www.pelvicfloor.com to see exactly what it is that is done to you during surgery. Then I am sure you will not be surprised that you are still battling. Logically I guess it would seem to be "normal" for you to bleed the more vigorous you are and the "bigger" the apparatus (hehehe).

But PLEASE speak to your doctor if the bleeding continues for too long or if it is very red blood. Rather safe than sorry.

Hope you both feel well sooner rather than later.
