What is the reason for bleeding when using clindamycin phosphate vaginal gel?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a small amount of bleeding after applying medication to the vagina is normal, as the medication may cause minor bleeding to the mucous membrane. Therefore, you don't need to worry. If the bleeding is not significant, no treatment is required, and you can continue applying the medication. This symptom will naturally disappear after treatment. If the bleeding is heavy, it is recommended to temporarily stop using the medication and clean the medication thoroughly.
