What Causes Excessive Cough And Brownish Vaginal Spotting?
Question: hello. I have had bronchitis for the past too weeks and have been prescribed 2 inhalers: zenhale (up to twice a day 2 puffs) and ventolin (up to 4 times a day 2 puffs). also, an atibiotic teva-clarithromycin ( 1 tablet twice a day for 10 days). I noticed that I am getting some brownish vaginal spotting so I am wondering if that could be from the excessive coughing or the medication? because my period should not be coming for maybe another 10 days or so. please help?
Brief Answer:
It might be ovulating spotting.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for posting your query at HealthcareMagic.
It is unlikely for excessive cough to cause vaginal spotting.
But the respiratory tract infection itself and all medication used may cause menstrual irregularity and might be possible that your periods will come earlier this month.This is not very common but might happen.
This is possible if you are having menstrual bleeding .
Most probably you are having ovulation spotting.Since you are around the middle of your cycle ,you might have ovulated and this is causing spotting.
It may appear as light bleeding or brown or pinkish spotting.It may last a couple of days.This is very common so don't need to worry.
I suggest to watch for further bleeding and if it persists.
If the spotting persist or if you have heavy menstrual bleeding that persist you should consult an OB-GYN doctor and get examined.
Hope it was of help.
Let me know if you have other questions or doubt to clarify.I will be happy to assist you further.
Kind Regards!
