A close girlfriend has been complaining of very minor spotting after sexual contact. She thinks it is normal and is just caused by friction. I think this went on for a few months. Then lately, the spotting became more apparent, and the blood-tinged discharge would for days after sex and in between periods. Anybody experienced this before? Is this normal? She's on BCP, nothing else.

I have experienced this before, and the diagnosis was cervicitis. Cervicitis is an infection of the lower genital track, when your cervix gets inflamed.

Is her BCP new? Sometimes when changing birth control it can cause spotting as your body is adjusting to the new dose of spotting. If intercourse is painful for your friend she should definitely go to her OB/GYN.

A friend of mine also on BCP complains of spotting. But she claims it is normal and common among those on BCP.

Do genital warts also cause spotting after sexual contact?
