Accepted Answer

Get in touch with the doctor or clinic where the pap smear was done. They may want to reexamine you. Also ask if  they found cervicitis or other evidence of infection.

Question 2

Hi dr, i have dark spotting, mild cramps and feel run down after getting a pap smear this morning. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Slight spotting and mild cramps could happen. Your feeling run down is probably coincidental. If you do not feel better in a day or two, you should contact your doctor. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 3

I had a pap smear 2 days ago, and i  have cramps that keep me up at night, and i need a heating pad to dull it down so i don't cry. is this okay?

Accepted Answer

It's not normal to have significant cramps after a pelvic exam/Pap smear unless the exam was rather difficult and required a lot of manipulation.  You should review this with the healthcare provider who completed the exam to make sure no complications like an infection has developed.  Best of luck.

Question 4

4 days ago i had a pap smear there is still a small amount of bleeding (like heavy spotting) & mild cramps. do i need to notify my doctor?

Accepted Answer

Now after a pap smear it is ok to experience light spotting.  Also you may also be very close to starting you menstrual cycle, so i would recommend taking some over the counter medications such as tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen and if your problems continue for over 1 week then contact your doctor.

Question 5

Bright red light bleeding one week after pap smear with mild cramps. post menepasal  had irregular pap two years ago one of two strains of hpv?

Accepted Answer

Contact your Obgyn and find out the pap smear results.  Since you have tested positive for HPV this is important information. Also ask if any abnormalities were found during your examination. If your cramping continues schedule a follow up exam for testing

Question 6

I had a pap smear yesterday w/cramps & sex 5 hours after w/clean bf. now i am having cramping/dull ache and pink discharge 24 hrs later. am i ok?

Accepted Answer

You can contact your doctor who did your exam yesterday and find out of the testing was normal. It is not likely much has changed in your exam since then but if your pain continues then schedule a visit for a follow up.

Question 7

I have went for a pap smear,i have gotten back my results as i need to go for a biopsy.i have been getting cramps in my navel throughout the day .for the past 4 weeks now. i have an irregular period as well?

Accepted Answer

Pain in the abdomen for 4 weeks requires a complete medical examination. It is unlikely to be related to your PAP test abnormality. So you must have a medical examination and appropriate tests done within the next one or two days. If the pain is severe, then a visit to the ER is advised so that you can be checked for a more serious infection like Appendicitis.

Question 8

I never had period cramps. but over the past year- i have been having hectically painful ones. im worried i may have cysts. had a pap smear, only high risk hpv- being treated for it.
should i be worried about the monthly pain?

Accepted Answer

There are multiple options. Hormonal treatments such as birth control pills, Progesterone treatments and the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud are effective reversible treatments that will help many people. There is also a drug called Lysteda that contains no hormones which will help others. You and your obgyn can discuss the treatment options and evaluation of heavy periods

Question 9

Hpv pap smear was normal but showed slight inflammation. doctor prescribed clindamycin300mg. was this wise? i now may have colitis (diarrhea & cramps)

Accepted Answer

Sometimes certain infectious organisms can be seen by the cytopathologist reading your pap.  Its likely they saw some evidence of bacterial vaginosis and the treatment for that would either by clindamicin or flagyl.

Question 10

Could a pap smear go from normal to advanced cervical cancer in a year and four months? last year my pap was normal before in 2019 i had mild changes to the cells. now i have irregular bleeding 3 times this month and pelvic cramps 25 years old?

Accepted Answer

It is very highly unlikely so don't panic.  there can be many other reasons for your symptoms. Pl. see your Gyn  she ?he will find and fix your problem.  I think you will be OK
