Question 8

i am having problems with bleeding during sex with my boyfriend, all pap tests are normal. what else can it be?

Cervical polyp: Bleeding during sexual intercourse can be
cause by the presence of a cervical polyp
(a benign condition) or a cervical erosion, 
which cause the cervix to bleed during or
after sexual intercourse.

Question 9

can a pap smear cause irregular bleeding?

Accepted Answer

yes: Scraping the cervix to do a pap can cause bleeding after the exam.  A day later there should be no further bleeding.

Question 10

pap showed cytolysis precluding evaluation for endocervical component.  with abnormal bleeding, lasting up to 4 weeks at a time. what can be cause?

Accepted Answer

Not a diagnosis: Cytolysis simply means that the cells dried out before they were chemically fixed.  When you get a traditional pap-smear, the cells are smeared on a glass slide and must be sprayed with a fixative within 30 seconds or they will dry out causing cytolysis. It is not a diagnosis of anything abnormal and won't cause your bleeding problem.
