Yes, it is normal to bleed after the second intercourse, as long as you have not bled the first time. This because not all women bleed at first intercourse and when this does not occur, they may bleed on the second, third, or only after many relationships. There are even women who never bleed.
When this occurs, this bleeding is caused by hymen rupture, which is a small membrane located at the entrance of the vagina. Usually this film breaks in the first sexual intercourse of the woman, but this is not a rule.
The reason bleeding may occur in the second, third or variations that the hymen may submit on:
- Form: There are hymens that have a "hole" in the middle, while others are similar to a net. Some are thicker and can cause pain when they break, while others are so thin that the woman does not even feel she has broken;
- Elasticity: Slightly elastic hymens usually rupture as early as the first intercourse. On the other hand, the more elastic hymns known as "complacent" can break only after several relationships.
The gynecologist can check the shape of the hymen during the gynecological examination, although it is not possible to evaluate its elasticity.
It is important to remember that the bleeding due to hymen rupture small and can last at most some hours. Intense and persistent bleeding should be evaluated by a gynecologist.
