Bleeding after intercourse

Hello

i am having bleeding after intercourse. It’s comes in a kind of stick mucus but is definitely blood and it’s when I go to the bathroom and there when I wipe.  I’ve recently been to the gynaecologist after dr referral for an ulcerated itchy vulval rash that wasn’t clearing up.  I was also found to have vaginosis at this time.  I’ve had antibiotics and creams but itching still there.   I’ve been married for over 20 years and no new partners for either of us (!) I’ve got the coil also.  I’m mid forties.  The gynaecologist took biopsy of area but found nothing untoward. But the itching and post intercourse bleeding persists.  I’ll return to the Dr but what more can she do. Last smear was two years ago.  

thanks in advance. 

  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    Sorry to hear about your situation. It is good to know that the biopsies you had did not show anything worrying.

    There are different reasons for an itching vulva/vagina and bleeding after intercourse.

    If you have an appointment to see your hospital doctor then do discuss this with them or go back to your GP and explain that it is still a problem for you.

    Take care, and I hope you know more soon.

    Sarah.
