wrong, What can cause vaginal bleeding and pain during sex?  

Answer
Hi Mercedes,

There are a variety of conditions that can cause pain and bleeding during intercourse. It can be something minor like a cervical inflammation to something more serious. In fact, it could be nothing at all! Some common reasons why a woman might experience pain would be penetration. During sex, a man's penis can "irritate" the cervix, causing minor bleeding and pain. Pain can also come from having an episiotomy during childbirth. Minor infections can also make sex unpleasantly painful.

I am not sure if your pain stems from the cervix or actual vagina, so it really could be a variety of things.

I would suggest to find a physician that will hear your concerns and determine a cause for your pain and bleeding. Remember, you are your best patient advocate!

Best of luck,
