Traumatic pink bleeding after sex
Most often vaginal mucous lining, which has been atrophied and thinned down due to the menopause, has a predisposition to traumas. In women at late adulthood, cell regeneration processes slow down and the production of lubricating substances reduces as well. Thus, a sexual intercourse may precipitate formation of micro fissures and frets and consequently, bleeding after sex. Preventive measures against such traumas, as well as their complication (itching, genital discomfort), may include application of special lubricants. Medically induced suspension of menopause is also a possible variant.
The normal mucous lining may be traumatized during an extremely rough coitus or an act of violence. In this case pink spotting after sex is accompanied by acute pain and possible disturbance of the urethral function. These cases require medical observation for sake of prevention of infectious complications.
