Spotting After Sex (Postcoital Bleeding) - Bleeding after sex most often occurs in women. In two-thirds of cases, bleeding after sex is benign and no cause can be found. In other women, however, spotting after sex can be attributed to things like cervicitis, or infection and inflammation of the cervix, which is part of the birth canal and the tissues that link the vagina to the uterus. A common cause of cervicitis among women is chlamydia, which requires treatment with antibiotics.
While most cases resolve on their own, it is always advisable to seek the opinion of your Doctor when you notice any spotting or bleeding.
