Hi, about a week ago I had sex with my boyfriend...

تم تقييم هذه الإجابة:
Hi, about a week ago I had sex with my boyfriend and we noticed afterwards mild bleeding (sort of like a period). This has never happened before so I’m not sure what it could be. I haven’t had any sort of health problems related to this however some pelvic pain started about 5 days after the intercourse but I went to the doctors for it and I was diagnosed with a bowel infection. Should I be worried?
