Pink spotting after sex – a symptom of oncological pathology
The so-called precancerous diseases of the uterine cervix (erosion, dysplasia), as well as endometrial or cervical cancer and cervical polyps are characterized by irritation of the mucous lining, which causes bleeding of almost denuded vessels of the surface.
Sometimes, the following symptoms go in line with post-coital bleeding:
- Profuse watery discharge;
- Abdominal cramps, not associated with the period;
- Urinary, fecal or winds incontinence.
Unfortunately, malignant processes of the reproductive system may not be accompanied with expressed symptoms, which is the most common reason of untimely diagnostics.
The only solution to this problem is careful screening of these diseases. For the maintenance of the woman’s health, it is required to undergo a periodic heath examination at a gynecologist, with subsequent histological analysis of cervical scrape.
