the vaginal area is very vascular so even a tiny sex-related tear can cause some bright red bleeding. since this can heal very fast your gyn may not find the cause of the bleeding if it was caused by minor trauma. please keep in mind that there can be numerous other causes including those related to your iud placement so it would be prudent to see your medical provider since this bleeding is a new phenomena for you.
bleeding after sex but haven't had a period in years because of my iud. shoulda i see my ob? . i have had my iud for about four and a half years. recently after sex i have noticed that i will begin bleeding. it's not immediate but seems to go on into the following afternoon or evening. it's very light minimal spotting and occasionally a clot or two. i haven't had a period regularly in my entire life and they essentially stopped after the first six months with my iud. should i see my ob and what could possibly be the cause?
