Post-coital bleeding — bleeding after sex — is one of the most common symptoms women dismiss, minimise, or feel too embarrassed to report to their GP.
But it is never something to put off. In this video, Dr. Sylvia explains the five most important medical reasons why bleeding after sex happens, which causes are genuinely urgent, and why this symptom is one of the earliest warning signs of cervical changes and other gynaecological conditions.
No embarrassment. No vague reassurance. Just the honest, direct information you deserve from your GP.
