Bleeding after intercourse (post-coital bleeding in doctor talk) can occur for several reasons. When you have an IUD, however, bleeding after intercourse may mean that the IUD has moved from the top of the uterus to the lower part, which may render it ineffective. Any woman with bleeding after sex should be checked by her health care provider; for a woman with an IUD, it's especially important that she use a back up method of Birth Control until she can confirm with her health care provider that the IUD is in place.
Infection is one of the most common. Anything from a yeast infection to a sexually transmitted disease like gonorrhea or chlamydia can irritate the cervix to the point where trauma from sex can lead to bleeding. Benign polyps of the cervix (small projections of tissue) may also bleed. Cancer caevix : Abnormal cervical cells, are also more easily irritated and may bleed with intercourse. IUCD : Women who use an IUD or diaphragm may experience such bleeding from irritation and friction. Vaginal Tear:Sometimes the bleeding is not from the cervix, but rather from a tear in the vagina; tears can happen with vigorous sex or if you are dry. For repeated bleeding after intercourse you need to see a gynecologist. The exam should include a Pap smear for abnormal cervical cells, unless you have had the test within the last couple of months. Infections need to be ruled out by examination and culture. Polyps can be detected and removed. If a tear is found, usually lubricants or changes in style of intercourse will be recommended. In any case, you must not ignore bleeding after intercourse, especially if it happens repeatedly.

∙ 18y agoWell, think of it this way -- would you think bleeding after any other activity as normal? It's not after sex either (well, other than your first time or with someone unusually large). You should not be bleeding after intercourse. If you are, it may be a sign of a more serious problem. Please contact a medical professional.

∙ 12y agoyes, it is perfectly normal to be bleeding. i recently had a copper one fitted and it has taken me a week to stop bleeding. however, it all depends on your body. the average is 4 days, but some women never stop bleeding and have the IUD removed. if your discharge is a funny colour or unusual smell or if you have strong abdominal pain you should go to the doctor immediately. hope this helped!

∙ 13y agoGenerally, yes. Especially with the Paragard (non-hormonal) IUD. Heavy periods are an expected side effect of the copper IUD, but will likely lighten up a bit after the first year you've got it. You just had a piece of hardware put into you! A little bleeding is normal.

∙ 14y agowhen taking any kind of hormonal birth control, it is normal to bleed whether it be spotting or more like a regular period for up to the first year you are taking it. if the bleeding lasts longer that your normal period, talk to your doctor.

∙ 11y agoSome women have a bit of spotting for a few hours after removal of the IUD. If you had a hormonal IUD, your period will return in four to six weeks, and you may have spotting until that time.

No, though it is possible. It really depends on how spread the cancer has become and what surrounding tissue has been damaged by it.
