description 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.
