When a person becomes sexually aroused, the blood flow to the vagina increases. As a result, the person has a higher risk of bleeding from minor injuries, such as a scratch from a fingernail or irritation of the cervix.
With that being said, you should see your primary or gynecologist just to make sure.
One condition called lichen sclerosis is a skin condition that damages skin in vagina area and because of it, your skin can easily be damaged. More likely in women over 50. If left untreated, can lead to more serious conditions.
Hope it is just something simple like a scratch.

2 ReactionsYes, I agree, it's very possible that it's no big deal, but always best to get the doctor to cover all the bases.
Thanks for Rey, I don't think so it's s scratch just knowing my vaginas activities. But anything's possible. Then my actual period started later that night or early morning the following day. It's been super heavy, painful, and overall terrible. Idk if that has any baring on my current question but my body and I'm sure most woman would tend to agree, is super confusing, uncooperative, and just not consistent at all. Thanks for the response
