Post-Gynecological Exam Bleeding & Yeast Infection Concerns: What to Know


Question
I am 21 years old.  Yesterday I had my annual gynecological exam at 2:00pm, I have been bleeding ever since.  It is not a heavy flow, but enough for a pantiliner.  Is this something I should be concerned about?  (it is now 11:20 am).  Also, the doctor told me I definitely have a yeast infection, and I might have had it for quite a long time.  How is it possible that I didn't know about this?  There was no itching or discharge, but he said it was definitely a yeast infection.  

Answer
Hi Danielle,

Bleeding a little after an exam is ok. But bleeding for more than a day is not.

It is interesting that you don't feel or see anything that hints that you have an infection.

I suggest you take a second opinion before taking or using any medication.

Make an appointment by another gynecologist. Tel him/her that you have been bleeding ever since seeing your Doc. Also, have a checkup to see if you actually do have a vaginal yeast infection.

I wish you the best of luck!

Please update me on what the gyn says,
Diana
