Does anyone have any bleeding or symptoms after sex? I am 2 years post treatment. Not been sexually active until recently. 

  • Hello  

    After treatment, quite a few ladies have difficulties with sex.  This can range from extremely fragile sensitive skin in the area (I have this) which can be helped with lots of lubricant prior to sex.  Vaginal shrinkage can also occur and dilators have helped others.  However, I have heard that actually have sex with a patient partner can go a long way to helping the vagina get back to normal so if you have managed intercourse you are doing all the right things.

    The bleeding is most likely very fragile skin breaking, I don't think this is anything serious but I can imagine that it is quite alarming when it does happen.

    I am sorry that you are having some problems and hope that other forum members will pitch in and advise you.

    Wishing you all the luck I can
