During sexual intercourse, bleeding can occur due to direct trauma to the vulnerable tissues like vagina or cervix. It may be caused by vigorous sex, which can lead to cuts, scrapes, or tears on the vagina.

A woman may bleed when she has penetrative sex for the first time because of the breaking of her hymen. The hymen is a thin piece of skin that partially covers the entrance to the vagina. It usually breaks during the first sexual intercourse.
