Hi Shay,

From what you've described, it does sound like you may have a vaginal wall tear. Unless you were having very aggressive sex, it is probably not too severe. Whether or not you need to see a doctor will depend on the extent of the tear.  Does it bleed even without intercourse?  If it does, then the tear is probably extensive enough that you should be checked.  If it's just a little spotting or only happens with penetration, then it is probably superficial and will heal on its own.  First and foremost, no sex!  I hope you have been using condoms because that will cut down on the chances of an infection, but no intercourse now with or without a condom.  You need to let it heal completely.  If the soreness doesn't go away soon even without sex, then you definitely need to see a doctor to check the extent of any tear and see if you have an infection.

Good luck,

Sandy

If there is any chance the bleeding is still from a tear, you need to see your primary doctor.  Even if you're wondering if your period is part of it, it would be wiser to have it checked than to wait.

Good luck to you,

Sandy
