I am going for a check up but i have always known that bleeding, or spotting usually is a tell tale sign of having cancer.

I was a bit freaked about having bloody orgasms, especially after my research showed that it can be a sign of cancer, endometriosis (spelling?), yeast and other infections.

I discovered it can also be caused by vaginal atrophy. So going to a doctor is a great idea. Of course the other problem is atypical pap smears that need a follow up. :( But no worries.

Good luck Anonymous and thank you for the new resource Susan.
