Hello Doctor,
I had unprotected sex 4 days ago. Now I’m experiencing light bleeding that is very dark and not the usual red period blood. My next period is supposed to come in about 9 days. Am I having implantation bleeding by chance?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
No, this could be post-coital bleeding, and it’s important to get it checked. It may be due to an infection, a cervical polyp, trauma, or even early-stage cervical cancer. I recommend getting a Pap smear and a scan done. If the Pap smear result is abnormal, a colposcopy and biopsy will be necessary. If it's an infection, appropriate treatment will be provided. In the case of a polyp, removal will be required. Identifying the underlying cause early is essential for proper treatment.
Thanks
