Vaginal bleeding after sex, post TT, what could be the cause?

Question

30 days post TT w/ lipo. Why do I have vaginal bleeding after sex? I’m not in any pain or discomfort during or after intercourse.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Whether due to anesthesia or the stress of surgery your menstrual cycle can become irregular for several months.  If there is no other physical reason for having bled I would reach out to your ob/gyn for an in-person evaluation.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.  It is unlikely that vaginal bleeding is related to your recent tummy tuck.  I would discuss with your gynecologist first.

Victor Ferrari, MD, FACS · Answer

One possible reason for vaginal bleeding after tummy tuck is that patients are on "pelvic rest" after abdominoplasty.  The number of weeks recommended for abstaining from sex varies with each doctor.  During the time of pelvic rest, the delicate vaginal tissues may atrophy slightly and then can bleed after the trauma of sex.  You may consider using personal lubricants.   If it doesn't resolve within a week or 2, you should see your gynecologist for an evaluation.
