What to do if you bleed after an internal exam

Bleeding during gynecological examination is clinically known as contact bleeding. In this case, it is recommended that there is no need to be nervous, keep the vulva clean and change sanitary napkins frequently, the vast majority of this case will be cleaned up on its own in 1-2 days’ time, and the amount of bleeding will be very small, usually with pads. However, if the bleeding is heavy, similar to the amount of menstruation, and all bright red blood, it is recommended to go to the hospital for appropriate treatment, such as oral hemostatic drugs, local pressure or medication to stop bleeding. Clinically, it is best to do cervical cancer screening to rule out early cervical cancer, and it is recommended to keep the local area clean and not to have sex during vaginal bleeding. It is recommended to use cotton sanitary napkin to avoid infection caused by poor local ventilation.
