Abstract
Objectives:
Postcoital bleeding is an uncommon cause of gynecologic hemorrhage; however, it can be severe in a majority of cases necessitating surgical management.
Methods:
We report a case of severe postcoital bleeding in a young woman requiring blood transfusion.
Results:
Hemostasis was achieved using subselective embolization of cervical artery by metallic coils.
Conclusion:
Our case demonstrates a minimally invasive treatment for control of non-obstetric hemorrhage.
