hello and thank you for asking HCM,
I understand your concern. Epidural steroid injections are associated with abnormal vaginal bleeding for both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. So if the bleeding stops there is no reason for fear. But if the bleeding takes longer or does not improve or becomes worse, visit your gynecologist immediatley.
I hope this answer was helpful to you.
