Why do I bleed after a gynecological examination?

Gynecological examination is used to check some problems in women's bodies, but some abnormal conditions will appear after the gynecological examination, including bleeding. This situation should be taken seriously because it can be caused by many reasons. This situation can be solved in many ways. So what is the cause of bleeding after a gynecological examination?

Cervical erosion: Cervical erosion is the most common manifestation of chronic cervicitis. The cells in the eroded area of ​​the cervix are very easy to fall off and become thinner, so some cervical erosions also cause contact bleeding. It is also possible to bleed after a gynecological examination, especially in patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion.

Cervical cancer: Bleeding after a gynecological examination may also be a dangerous sign of early cervical cancer. The amount of bleeding is not much and the color is bright red. However, if it is early-stage cervical cancer, the amount of bleeding may increase, and even blood clots may flow out. This is because the cancerous cervical cell tissue has eroded and become brittle, and the blood supply to the affected area is good. Therefore, when the cervix is ​​directly hit, it will rupture and cause bleeding.

Note: It is better to take a shower the night before a gynecological examination than to take a bath in a basin, and definitely not to douche the vagina, otherwise abnormal secretions and some potential pathogens that may be detected through the biopsy will be washed away, thus affecting the doctor's correct diagnosis.

Do not have sex the night before a gynecological examination, because the man's semen or the spermicide on the condom may appear in the test sample the next day, which will interfere with the doctor's correct judgment.

Do not use any vaginal medications the night before a gynecological examination, because any medications or lubricants used to treat vaginal infections can affect the test sample, cover abnormal cells, and affect the accuracy of the test.

When doing a B-ultrasound of the uterus, a certain amount of urine must accumulate in the bladder in order to see clearly. So don’t throw your urine out.

You must empty your bladder when undergoing a gynecological examination. If you need to do both a uterine B-ultrasound and a gynecological examination, it is best to do the uterine B-ultrasound first.

Do not eat foods that easily produce gas, such as milk, sweet potatoes, etc., because this will hinder the penetration of ultrasound and cause unclear imaging of the examined organs.

Women should not undergo gynecological examinations during menstruation, and it is best to do so 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over. In the 24 hours before a female physical examination, you can wash the vulva, but do not douche the vagina.
