Why am I having vaginal bleeding?

Obviously if I’ve been sexually active for almost 2 years, my hymen was broken long ago. Please don’t answer my question just to get points.

Not true. Just because you have been sexually active doesn’t mean your hymen breaks I could care less about points I give them away anyways. We had a girl in the ER who had been having sex way longer than 2 years and her hymen ripped and she was bleeding alot because she was as ignorant as you and didn’t know it could of NOT broken before.

If you have been sexually active for over 2 years, you do NOT still have your hymen. (They hymen is generally made up of two parts. The thin layer of tissue blocking or partially blocking the entrance to the vagina which can be broken or torn by a fall or horseback riding, and the ring of tissue surrounding the first part. The thin ring can only be broken by penetration. Usually something larger than a finger.) As stated, you have been using an object to masterbate (I assume penetration and not just clitoral stimulation because it is causing bleeding in the vagina).

Of course not taking “the pill” regularly can cause all sorts of fluctuations of your menstral cycle. If you have been taking it consistantly for a few months AND you still have bleeding after penetration during intercouse or masterbation then it is less likely that it is the birth control.

Now a question for you. When you become sexually aroused, do you “get wet”? (secrete vaginal juices) It is a common (problem?), perhaps situation is a better word, for women to remain dry or simply “not to become wet enough” for penetration. The only reason I say this, is that bleeding, caused by tiny tears in the vaginal wall is common in this case.

If this is the case, you of course can use lubricaiton (ky gel etc.) or perhaps “more” lubrication.

But, if you are taking your birth control pills regularly, are having pain free and well lubricated penetration, and still are having bleeding problems, it is certain you should see your doctor.

Please remember the standard answer is ALWAYS to see your doctor if you are having any problems. He/She can examine the inside of your vagina and see if you are tearing or if you have any other conditions. But I certainly understand the reluctance to visit the Ob/gyn, and to take a “wait and see” approach.

It’s broken. I’ve had several examinations since I’ve been sexually active and have been told by my OB/GYN that the problem was not my hymen, but due to not taking my pill properly. Obviously, I’m not ignorant and just stating the fact for my own good, but because it’s a fact.

Becoming wet was never the problem. Intially the doctor told me it could be from not taking the pill regularly, but now I am and I’m still bleeding.

The lining of the vagina in inherently unstable, which is what allows it to be shed each month (i.e. your ‘monthlies’). Some women have vaginas that are a bit more unstable (‘friable’) and they can have bleeding every time they masturbate or have sex. This is normal for some women. See your ob-gyn and talk to them about it. Get an exam to rule out any problematic possibilities and rest your mind. Good Luck!!!
