A lice-killing lotion containing 1% permethrin or a mousse containing pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide can be used to treat pubic (crab) lice. These products are available over-the-counter without a prescription at a local drug store or pharmacy. These medications are safe and effective when used exactly according to the instructions in the package or on the label. Lindane shampoo is a prescription medication that can kill lice and lice eggs.
Trichomoniasis is another type of vaginal infection. It is caused by a single-celled parasite that is usually spread through sex. In addition to causing bleeding after sex, it can also cause vaginal discharge and itching.
Both of these conditions can cause pain and cramping after sex. Fibroids can also cause heavy bleeding during periods and bleeding in between periods. Many women experience severe cramping after a cyst rupture. In some cases, cramps can last for several days and be accompanied by bloating.
