After a hysteroscopic polypectomy, the uterine lining remains in a healing phase for a few weeks. Mild spotting or light bleeding can persist and may be triggered again after intercourse.
In your case:
Procedure on 28th March → recent intrauterine intervention
Spotting stopped on 10th April → suggests initial healing
Intercourse on 13th April followed by cramps and bleeding → likely due to endometrial irritation or incomplete healing.
Usually not serious if:
Bleeding is light to moderate
Pain is mild and settles
No fever or foul discharge
This is a common post-hysteroscopysymptom pattern.
However, consider evaluation if:
Bleeding is heavy (soaking pads)
Persistent or worsening lower abdominal pain
Fever or foul-smelling discharge (suggests infection)
Symptoms lasting more than a few days
Next steps:
Avoid intercourse for ~1–2 weeks to allow complete healing
Use NSAIDs for cramps if needed
Monitor bleeding pattern
Clinical note (guideline-aligned):
Post-hysteroscopic procedures commonly cause transient bleeding and cramping; most guidelines (e.g., American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists hysteroscopy guidance) consider light bleeding after the procedure and after intercourse as expected unless accompanied by red-flag symptoms.
Bottom line:
Your symptoms are most consistent with post-procedure healing effects rather than a complication, provided there are no warning signs.
