Do vaginal ultrasound scans cause vaginal bleeding?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sometimes: Placing the ultrasound probe into the vaginal can cause bleeding. The probe rubs against the cervix, which in pregnancy could cause bleeding.

Typically no: A vaginal ultrasound typically does not cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding after a vaginal ultrasound typically happens because a uterine bleeding was already present before the vaginal ultraound.
