I just had Cool sculpting yesterday and as soon as I got home I noticed vaginal and recum bleeding. Should I be alarmed?

Question

The bleeding is like a heavy spotting, not a flow.

Robert Whitfield, MD · Answer

The treatment is noninvasive.  The issues you are having should be seen and examined by your primary or another physician.  These are not related to treatment of fat.

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. This is not normal. Coolsculpting does not go deep enough to affect the uterus. I urge you to discuss this with your treating physician.

Carmen Kavali, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  I can't imagine how CoolSculpting would cause any vaginal or rectal bleeding.  You didn't mention what area you had treated with CoolSculpting, but even treatment of the upper inner thighs wouldn't cause such bleeding.Are you able to see those areas in a mirror? Do you have any skin tears that are bleeding? (These would be painful and obvious.)  Is it time for your period?  Or do you have irregular periods, and this could just be your next period?  Do you have hemorrhoids?  Have you been constipated lately?  Please do notify your doctor's office who did the CoolSculpting, so the doctor can evaluate you or refer you to your primary doctor or GYN for further evaluation.Best wishes!Dr. K
