Vaginal Bleeding After Using Sunbed. Any Reason?
I ve used sunbeds in the past and been fine and we have one at my work which I m familiar with. ( I know health risks etc...) unusual thing happened last time I used it though I noticed vaginal bleeding and I am not due on my period I already had it. It wasn t from a cut it was defiantly from my vagina. It stopped after 3 mins after i came off the sunbed and no spotting since. Is there any reason you can think of why this may happen cause its baffled me. Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
Long exposure to sunbed is known to cause skin changes.
Bleeding for a short period of time could be due to trauma.
You need to be examined by a Gynecologist to identify the site of trauma.
Also any changes in the vaginal lining can be checked.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
