title: Transarterial embolization for management of severe postcoital bleeding.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our case demonstrates a minimally invasive treatment for control of non-obstetric hemorrhage.
