  ABSTRACT: Background: Sexual intercourse may be associated with serious complications and morbidities which may not be commonly experienced in clinical practice. One such complication is severe vaginal bleeding. Aim: To report a case series of postcoital vaginal lacerations in three women of various age groups with no prior surgical history who complained of acute onset, severe vaginal pain and bleeding after consensual intercourse. Case presentation: This case series describes the clinical features and management of women who required an examination under anaesthesia and surgical repair of vaginal injuries following consensual intercourse. The Post-operative recovery period was uneventful. Conclusion: A postcoital laceration is a rare emergency that may be complicated by excessive blood loss, which is increased if there is a delay in seeking care and or diagnosis. Prompt treatment should be instituted in such cases to minimise complications.
