Cortizone shots can this cause vaginal bleeding

Me too meni for two or more years had a cortisone shots for my scalp and 4 or so days later vaginal bleeding...

What to do for vaginal bleeding after the steroid shots caused it.

after having an injection in my coccyx I started bleeding which for a 70year old was a terrible shock. I was told by the gynecologist that it was caused by the injetion and had to take drugs to stop the bleeding. I also reacted badly and my face turned scarlet and had to take antihistamine tablets. The injection has not worked and now I am scared of havnig another as I was also told that too many can weaken the bones

Acupuncture has been a Godsend for my ailments!

Thank you everyone. I have been through my menopause for 20 yrs yes I went through mine early. I had two shots in my back for herniated disks and arthritis and now I am bleeding through the vagina and rectum. I was wondering how long this will last. It makes me feel better knowing so many women are going through the same. Not saying I am glad you are cause I am not but posting what is going on does help others know it is probably a side effect from the shot. I have to go through all the test now too. My dr said yes it was probably the shot but she rather be safe. When I called the dr who did the shots I had 2 at same time they said they never heard of such a thing. HIs sec said I will triple check and call you back but when she did she said I am right it isn't from the shot. The first time I had a shot many yrs ago and yes it was after my menopause I did the same thing but not as long and bad as this time but I never considered it was the shot. I just figured it was just one of those things women went through after their menopause. However, after this I know it wasn't. I too wish the dr who gave me a shot was better informed and warned me. These drs I went through are suppose to be the best but if that is the case they should know that these shots can cause bleeding. Would I of had them yes but at least I would of known not to worry so much when the bleeding started. I do not think I will have another through cause it only lasted 4 days for the disc. It has helped some on arthritis but not enough for me to go through all this bleeding and now all the test dr wants to take. I will just keep taking the pain meds my dr gives me. They at least take the edge off where I can function. So thank you all for posting what you have gone through or going through. It has made me realize that I am right about those shots and they can cause bleeding. Does anyone know how long the bleeding last. I have a double does from both vagina and rectum. My at times like at night will stop and then before I get up it will start again and I know that the shots must of been the cause of both cause they both start and stop the same time. I know it sounds crazy but that is the how it is for me. I do not understand myself why I will start and stop in both the vagina and rectum at same time but that is what is happening.

I got my shot in my knee on a Thursday and that Sunday I was bleeding. I had just had my period 2 weeks before and I have also,been having awful thoughts and crying alot. I called my GYN and she confirmed the shot made me bleed again. I wish the male doctor would've told me this could happen because I would have said no to the shot!

How can I stop the bleeding? My GYN said give it a week and suggested birth control.

Your body should re-adjust naturally; try acupuncture for your knee pain. I am thrilled with the results! Good luck!

Thank you-Someone else recommended that as well. I hope I re-adjust soon

This is what I am going thru right now. Seriously messed up.

I am almost done bleeding after 5 days. I wish you a speedy recovery

I had a cortisone shot July 25th/2017. On 7-26, much to my surprise, I started spotting and ultimately had a 12 day period!!! I did not make any connection between the two. I'm almost 70 so this was quite a shock. I went to my primary MD, got a GYN referral, had a Endometrial biopsy and a Transvaginal Ultrasound. All came back negative. Recently someone told me that a cortisone shot can mess with hormones, so I began searching. I ultimately found this site. Thanks to all of you for your posts. They've been very valuable to me. The shot has been like a miracle, so I'm willing to have the side-effect knowing that it is nothing more than that. Good luck to anyone reading this.

I to was given a cortisone shot on my elbow for tennis elbow and 2 days after the shot I started bleeding. I'm going on my 4th week now. I not sure what to do.

If it were me, I'd go see my primary physician and take the website address for this blog. I also found a research study
- these were their findings: CONCLUSION: Epidural steroid injections are associated with subsequent abnormal vaginal bleeding for both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Women undergoing epidural steroid injection should be advised of abnormal bleeding as a potential adverse effect and providers should be aware of this association when evaluating abnormal bleeding. I hope this helps.

Same here. I took the shot in my ankle and I am on HRT Therapy and have been bleeding and staining for almost a month now. Very upset. Calling my GYN every few days.

I had vaginal bleeding for almost a month after an epidural steroid injection. My doctors refuse to believe that was why. It never happened before and hasn't happened since
