Slight bleed after sex. Do I need to worry?

This morning I had sex for the first time in 18 months. It wasn't painful but I did get a slight pain when doing doggy style (sorry I hate that term) which i get sometimes which means I've had a tiny tear. I've had it a few times and always heals fine. Anyway, there was some spotting from that when I wiped after we'd finished.
But I also bled a little from inside, like period blood. Not loads but there's been some in the tissue every time I go to the toilet today.
I've never had this before and I've gone for long periods without sex like this in the past.
I'm 32, am up to date with my smears. I did have a follow up after my last smear last year to check abnormal cells but all came back clear. I have a Dd but was c section. Also, not due on my period. The tear is still spotting bright red blood when wiping as well.

Anyone had this and could tell me if its OK or something I should be checked for?

I think you should be checked
Possibly just a small tear but it will do no harm to be reassured
So easy to pick up small problems before they become big problems.. good luck and hopefully all ok

I have sometimes had this type of bleeding after shagging a guy who has a long dick. I have a low cervix and although I prefer sex from behind (I like this phrase more than "doggy"!) it does mean the guy gets in deeper.

I usually get a sensation that feels more like its in my guts and that I'm being kind of pummelled - it's not really painful, the sensation can actually be pleasant, but I know that afterwards I will wind up with pain that's like mild period cramps, and I may get some spotting.

I would suggest that if you're still spotting after 24hrs, give either your GP of your local sexual health centre a call and ask for a phone appointment. They can then make you a F2F appointment if they think you need a check up.

(Pro tip: if you don't want it so deep but like it from behind, drop your shoulders down onto the bed while keeping your bum as high as possible, and really arch your back. Also try getting him inside, then he puts his legs outside yours and you slowly lie flat. He will get the same sensation, but you'll find that 25-50% of his dick is now fucking your inner thighs, taking the pressure off your fanjo.)

You should get it checked, to rule out something serious.

I had this and it was a cervical erosion- sounds awful but it's just to do with hormones and nothing to do with cancer. I had treatment for it as I was spotting often - it didn't work but a couple of years after it has cleared by itself.

I had this OP and it was abnormal cells on my cervix. Probably nothing but worth getting checked.

I had cervical polyps which were removed. Definitely second the advice to get it checked out, I watched and waited and it kept happening, so off to the Dr's I went!

Thank u for your replies. He wasn't especially big. A bit longer than average but not a problem with girth. Sex from behind is actually my favourite position. I have had the period like cramps before after sex with a rather well endowed guy but no period bleeding.

I'll keep an eye for the next 24 hours and call gp if it doesn't stop

I had a similar thing a few years ago. Was referred by my GP to a gynaecologist who diagnosed cervical erosion and said it was nothing to worry about. Cervical erosion means that cells that usually grow inside your cervix actually grow on the outside. When they're 'disturbed' when the cervix gets bashed a bit during sex, they bleed.

I'd get it checked out with a gp in any case OP, even if it stops tomorrow.

I had this a few years ago. Abnormal cells on the cervix, and many fibroids/ polyps in the womb. Worth getting checked out as easily treated. Try using lubricant and see if that makes things better.
