Background: Bleeding during or immediately after the intercourse can be seen in women with benign cervical changes such as polyps, ectropion or infection of the cervix. But, sometimes, important diseases such as cancer of the cervix can be associated with post coital bleeding (PCB). The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of microscopic pre-cancerous lesions of the cer...

The circuit structure and function underlying post-coital male behaviors remain poorly understood. Using mutant analysis, laser ablation, optogenetics, and Ca2+ imaging, we observed that following C. elegans male copulation, the duration of post-coital lethargy is coupled to cellular events involved in ejaculation. We show that the SPV and SPD spicule-associated sensory neurons and the spicule ...

We describe an unusual complication of coital trauma in a 29-year-old man who presented with a 3-year history of hematospermia and post-coital gross hematuria. Using urethroscopy under a semi-tumescent penis, an isolated urethral injury with active bleeding was detected at the prostatic urethra. The patient was successfully treated with transurethral fulguration. We suggest that isolated poster...

AIM To describe an unusual symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS A patient presented to our urology clinic having experienced post-coital gross hematuria for 2 years. He had not experienced lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). A series of examinations were performed to determine the source of bleeding. RESULTS The prostate was defined as the active bleeding source responsib...

Haemangioma of the cervix is an extremely rare benign lesion, and only a few sporadic cases have been reported to date. In the present report we describe a case of Haemangioma of the cervix that was diagnosed in a 28-year-old patient who consulted for post coital bleeding.

BACKGROUND Penile coital injuries are one of the suggested mechanisms behind the increased risk of HIV among uncircumcised men. We evaluated the prevalence and correlates of self-reported penile coital injuries in a longitudinal community-based cohort of young (18-24 years old), newly circumcised and uncircumcised men in Western Kenya. METHODS Self-reported penile coital injuries were assesse...

Cervical glial polyps or gliosis of uterine cervix are rare. These are rare polypoidal mesenchymal tumours and usually manifest with vaginal bleeding, post-coital bleeding or cervical discharge. Microscopically these polyps show heterotopic glial tissue with varying degree of gliosis. Immunoperoxidase staining with Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) confirms the glial nature of the polyp. C...
