If a lady loses her virginity, how long will it take the blood flowing from her vagina to stop? Mine is now six days and I have not seen my menstruation for this month. Kindly let me know whether this is menstruation or something else.

The bleeding should be over within 24 hours, except if the membrane was very thick, in which case, it may take a little longer. Six days is too long for an ordinary loss of virginity. The timing of the bleeding does not make it appear as a menstruation. It is likely that the bleeding is from a vaginal tear which you had during sex. If it is a minor tear, the bleeding will soon phase off, however if it is major, then you will need to see a doctor who may need to stitch up the tear.
