A member asked:
I was told that it is normal for a transvaginal ultrasound to cause light spotting, even two or three days after the procedure. why does this happen?

Think of dental work: Vaginal mucosal tissue is similar to that within your mouth -- so, think of what might happen after a dentist works. Occasionally there is some blood that you spit out. Probably there won't be any spotting, but there is the chance with a probe's manipulating against this soft tissue of a minor bleed.
