What Causes Heavy Bleeding After Having A Epidural Steroid Injection In Lumbar Area?
I m about 2 years post-menopausal and I had an epidural steroid injection in my lumbar region. Just a couple of days later I started spotting and today I am heavy bleeding. I ve read a study on the government health site that sometimes (rarely) that post-menopausal women can have vaginal bleeding due to a epidural steroid injection. Have you heard of that happening?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you have not mentioned what injection you have taken, although heavy bleeding in menopause is likely and it may not be due to the epidural injection hope this information helps.
