What Causes Light Vaginal Bleeding After Taking Amoxicillin And Metronidazole?
Question: My period ended on the 7th. Started amoxicillin and metronidazole on the 8th. Started light bleeding on the 12th. Could this be caused by antibiotics? Or should I be concerned and contact my ob/gyn? I am 33, and never had in between period bleeding before. Have two kids and am on non-hormonal iud.
Brief Answer:
It will subside on its own.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The light bleeding that you had after the period finished can be the left over blood from the last period. This can also happen due to mild hormonal disturbance caused by stress due to illness or infection. This is not worrisome. The light bleeding will gradually subside on its own in few days.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
