Need for examination: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful comment without physical examination and lab tests and imaging, if the latter are needed. Please consult your doctor to avoid further damage to your organs. Any bleeding should be taken seriously.

Question 5

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 8

i had a pap smear done on thursday (10/8/15) and during the pap i had a lot of bleeding. what could this mean??

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: the most common cause is a friable cervix (bleeds easily) and this can be due to pregnancy, infection, trauma from sex and hormonal changes.  Other causes include cervicitis (STD), polyps and the most common cause is idiopathic (meaning no specific reason or cause)

Question 9

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 10

i had a pap smear that i bled a pretty decent amount during. they put some orange solution in me to stop the bleeding and now a day later i have weird flesh like discharge. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

: This may be some of the tissue they cauterized coming out as a vaginal discharge. Recommend you contact the office of us physician who did the testing for evaluation and treatment
