what causes bleeding after mutiple orgasms

Keisha, have you started a work out regimen recently or any other change that may have affected your period? I think it's a great sign that your doctor has performed ultrasounds as well as a pap. If everything is normal, please stop googling symptoms. Stress and 20 hours a day of googling is not healthy in any way. You'd be surprised to how poorly your body can react to the stress you're putting it through right now.

In your case, I would listen to your doctor. The continuous searching on the web for signs and symptoms is going to drive you insane and you cannot go by others' symptoms. Many symptoms tend to be very general and non-specific to certain conditions. Good Luck, please keep up posted with any results pending.

Keisha,

If your bleeding isn't stopping, you need to consult your doctor for sure. Yes, a transvaginal ultrasound might be exactly what's needed, but only your doctor knows. At EmpowHer we are not medically trained; we just try to give you the best information available so you can take that information to your doctor and work with her or him on your health. Will you make an appointment?
