Question 1

during pap smear- my cervix was bleeding- is it a bad sign?

Accepted Answer

Your doc should: Have told u that sometimes it can bleed as long as he didnt see a lesion or tumor then the pap hopefully will be normal , it could come back abnormal, and sometimes bleeding can be from an undiagnosed std like chl or gc so the dco can run those 2 tests with the pap to make sure they are neg.

Question 2

what could cause bleeding each time during/after sex? had pap smear and pelvic exam and all came back normal. no stds, no hpv, cervix looked fine, no infectionsand also no issues with lubrication?

Accepted Answer

: something is being injured during sex in the vaginal/cervical area. First check if it is fresh blood, with or without clots and amount. Try a different position during sex. Note any changes and have your Gyn re-evaluate after these observations. I hope the cause is found and treated

Question 3

did pap smear yesterday,inflamed & bleeding cervix. will go back after a week. is there any medication i can take to stop my cervix from bleeding??

Accepted Answer

Treat locally: Once a lesion of the cervix starts bleeding the chance is that it will not stop spontaneously.  One could apply laser treatment to stop it or else some form of cauterization.  The easiest way however is to have your physician place a clotting substance such as surgicell against the cervix which should cause enough clotting to stop any further bleeding.

Question 4

went to my gynecologist she did a pap smear. do to i have hpv she barely touched my cervix and it started bleeding some.?

Accepted Answer

Complication?: I know of no specific relationship between pap smear post procedural bleeding and hpv infection. That said, you may want to follow-up sooner with your physician to double check that there is not some sort of complication (some spotting maybe ok but frank hemorrhage may need to be rechecked).

Question 5

i had a pap smear yesterday and the doctor said my cervix was a little irretated. then i have had heavy bleeding all day today. is this normal? or sho

Accepted Answer

Not normal: Pap smear not associated with vaginal bleeding.  If exam of cervix showed irritation there is always possibility of in-situ lesion of cervix but bx needed for dx.  Blleeding if not obvious on cervical exam suggests origin from endometrium.  Sonogram of uterus to see lining and possible bx of endometrium to see if that is site of blood.

Question 6

i had a pap smear yesterday and the doctor said my cervix was a little irritated. then i have had heavy bleeding all day today. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Not uncommon: When the pap smear was done the MD probably noted cervical redness and inflammation with blood vessels visible on the cervical surface. A pap smear involves cervical "scraping" which can in of itself produce bleeding post procedure, let alone when the surface  blood vessels are  present and easily interrupted.

Question 7

i have been having irregular  bleeding (between  periods and after  intercourse), painful intercourse, foul watery discharge and cervix bleeds when touched for more than 2 years, haven't  had a pap smear in 6 and a half years. could it be cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, must be checked: Women who are sexually active cannot go 6 years between Pap smears and Gyn exams. Nor can they wait 2 years while having foul vaginal discharge. Cancer is a possibility, and the most serious one. A doctor's evaluation is needed this week. That means not waiting until next week. Friends and family members should be able to help, if financial or transportation help is needed.

Question 8

what can cause a visible "lesion" on the cervix during a pap smear?

Accepted Answer

Await Path report: If Pap smear was done, a path report will be available in less than a week from your doctor. Long list of possibilities from benign, scar, infection and, of course, cancer. All of these can be managed well in 2014 so be patient while the report is brewing.

Question 9

if you have visible "lesion" on cervix during pap smear, what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

HPV: The human papilloma virus is the cause of the vast majority of pap abnormalities.

Question 10

i have a visible "lesion" on cervix during pap smear, what is leading to this?

Accepted Answer

Needs further eval: I assume this means that the doctor doing the pap smear saw a lesion on the cervix during the pelvic exam.  Such a lesion could be a cancer, a benign polyp, a wart, a prolapsed fibroid, or another condition.  The pap smear may give some clues to the diagnosis, but most often another special exam called a colposcopy with a specific biopsy of the lesion will be needed to make sure it is not cancer.
