What Causes Vaginal Spotting While Suffering From Ulcerative Colitis?
Hi, I have Ulcerative Colitis which is in quite a bad flare at the moment, and after a colonoscopy on Tuesday I have had light spotting ever since (6 days). I also have a copper intra uterine device (IUD) and quite bad period pain at the moment. Should I be concerned? Thanks
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The Ulcerative colitis can give certain hormonal changes leading to long-term spotting of the vagina. It is recommended to consult your OBGY immediately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
