In order to know more about the answer, it's best to learn what "intracavity radiation treatment" is.

Intracavity- This means occurring within a body cavity. This is commonly associated with cancer.

Intracavity radiation treatment- This is a type of radiation therapy that uses radioactive materials. This materials are placed inside seeds, wires, needs and catheters, which are inserted into the body cavity.

Radiation therapy- This is a type of cancer treatment that uses a high amount of radiation in order to kill the cancer cells. This can also be used in observation of body organs. In this case, the amount used is only small.

When it comes to cancer treatment, radiation therapy has a lot of side effects such as fatigue, skin problems, dry mouth, nausea, hair loss, etc.

The client above talks about small amounts of vaginal bleeding. This is a clue that the treatment was done inside the woman's reproductive organ. Oftentimes, intracavity radiation is common in treating cervical cancer.  The blood vessels are very sensitive that's why they bleed.

Small amount of bleeding is okay. Thus, the answer above is "Normal Finding."
