My girlfriend started bleeding randomly during sex and has slight nausea now. She is 20 years old and on birth control. She had a fever a few days before this happened and just got over being sick. How long has your girlfriend dealt with the bleeding? Is this issue stable or getting worse? Is she using any medications, either for the bleeding or anything else? Anything else in her medical history you think the Doctor should know?
