Inquiry
Hello Doctor,
I underwent a gynecological examination a week ago and was diagnosed with cervicitis. The physician prescribed vaginal medication for a duration of 10 days. I only administered the medication once in the evening, and the following morning I noticed spotting. I am uncertain if this is due to my menstrual cycle or a result of the inflammation. The bleeding persisted for two days, although the volume was minimal, and then ceased. The day after that, I resumed the vaginal medication for one day, but experienced bleeding again. Therefore, I would like to ask, after observing bleeding following the use of vaginal medication, should I continue with the treatment? Thank you, Doctor!

Hello,
The physician would like to address your query: “After experiencing bleeding following vaginal medication, should I continue with the treatment?” as follows:
To ascertain the cause of vaginal bleeding in relation to cervicitis, a speculum examination is necessary to visualize the cervix. It is advisable for you to visit a medical facility to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
If you have further concerns regarding the bleeding experienced after administering vaginal medication, please consider visiting a hospital within the Vinmec Healthcare System for an evaluation. Thank you for your trust and for submitting your question to Vinmec. Wishing you good health.
Sincerely,
