Is vaginal bleeding normal after a physical examination?

Patient's question:

Routine health check-up: Gynecological internal examination, TCT cervical cancer screening. Is it normal?

Doctor's answer:

General gynecological routine examinations do not typically cause bleeding. It may be due to the presence of cervical erosion during the examination of the cervix, which can result in some bleeding. Don't worry. I recommend that you wait and see first. If the bleeding is not significant, it should stop on its own, and there should be no problem. For your examination, it is best to schedule it 3 to 7 days after your menstrual period ends. This time, the discharge is less, making the examination more accurate. In your daily life, focus on dietary and lifestyle adjustments—reduce spicy and irritating foods, drink more hot water, eat more light meals, pay attention to personal hygiene, and exercise regularly to boost your immunity. Wishing you good health!
