What Causes Bleeding While On Treatment For Boils In The Vagina?

It may be acceptable
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
I have read your question and I understand your concern.
Staph aureus infection in the vagina are very dangerous, and it was very well studied in the beginnings of tampon use, when hundreds of patients died from staph aureus.
Thus it needs a very aggressive treatment, like the one you had.
Now, the bleeding can be from cysts and from some damaged vaginal tissue due to the infection. What about your periods?
I would say that bleeding is normal, but if you assess that the amount is more than a normal period and hard to stop, then you need to go and see a doctor and to evaluate the cause of your bleeding.
I still think that it is a benign cause, but better be assured after a detailed examination.
I would also do a CBC to see if the heavy bleeding has affected your blood and if you are in danger of being anemic.
Also, take the full treatment of antibiotics. Do not stop them midway.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health!
Manoku Eni M.D.


You should call your doctor now
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
If you feel the bleeding every 10 mins, even if it is not super heavy, it is very dangerous. Since you are already anemic, the body cannot allow yourself to lose more blood.
You may have improvements due to the course of the antibiotics which have started to kick in, but you need to be very careful about hypovolemia. (lower level of body fluids leading to low blood pressure).
I would recommend to call your doctor as soon as possible and have these ports of hemorrhage assessed carefully. Then depending upon the cause of the bleeding, you may need to see an OB/GYN or continue with your primary care doctor.
Regards
