Hello Doctor,

I've noticed slight bleeding during intercourse recently. Is this something I should be concerned about, or could it be normal? Should I consult a doctor for further evaluation?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It’s important to get checked out if you’re experiencing any unusual bleeding. I recommend scheduling a Pap smear, which is a routine screening for cervical health. Depending on the results, you may need a colposcopy, a procedure that helps examine the cervix more closely. It’s always best to get a thorough check-up to rule out any underlying issues. Please consult with your healthcare provider for a proper examination and diagnosis.

Thanks
