Patient's question:
I'm done. After the gynecological exam, I found a little bit of blood. What's the reason for a little blood after a gynecological exam?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. During a gynecological examination, there is usually an internal examination, and a vaginal speculum is used. If a liquid-based cytology test is performed, a specimen is typically collected from the cervix, which may cause some degree of damage to the vaginal mucosa. After the examination, there may be some signs of minor skin breakdown. In normal cases, maintaining good personal hygiene is sufficient. Additionally, taking a few days of metronidazole for anti-inflammatory treatment should be fine.
