Bleeding after sex, 3 months after hysterectomy
I just recently had sex for the 2nd time since my surgery at the end of Sept.
There was no pain during sex, however afterwards there was bright red blood. I did not notice this after the first time.
Has anyone else experienced this issue.
The Dr. did an examination of my pelvic cavity on Monday for a different reason, and said there was some redness so I don't know if this is connected or not.

Re: Bleeding after sex, 3 months after surgery
I wiped a little bit of pink after one of our recent trysts, though that'd occasionally happen in past years, too, so I didn't give it much thought. (For me, probably due to my age and likely peri-menopause or in meno.)
You had both ovaries removed. Are you taking HRT? Decreased estrogen can cause vaginal dryness (I had this early post-op) meaning the vaginal walls can be thinner and less elastic - and easily irritated during sex. The fact that your doc noticed the redness but nothing crucial is a good sign. Try a personal lubricant as part of foreplay. Also, I switched to non-perfumed soap for the v-zone, and at the end of my shower I'll use a dab of coconut oil in the region as a daily lubricant. If it continues, touch base with your doctor to rule out other causes and come up with a solution, see Bleeding / Spotting After Sex.

Re: Bleeding after sex, 3 months after surgery
Thanks Cussette
I'm not taking any HRT. I had used lubricant.
I'm currently doing chemotherapy for OvCa
I have a chemo follow up and will mention it to the gynecology oncologist. This was enough blood to soak through my sheet onto my mattress pad, and partially soak a nightime period pad
I have been having some pink /brown discharge for the past few weeks, so maybe it was just irritation.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
