Question 1

is it normal to bleed for 4 days after a pap smear?

Accepted Answer

Seems a little long: Some women get vaginal bleeding after a pap smear but it usually only lasts for 1-2 days.  If you have bleeding longer than that, call your doctor/np to let them know.

Question 2

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

Question 3

i'm still spotting from having a pap smear five days ago. the bleeding has been the heaviest today. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Irregular bleeding: Irregular bleeding is one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections ;  hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do  a home pregnancy test .  There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Question 4

i had some bleeding three months ago i went to take a pelvic test and pap smear and it was normal but last week i had some bleeding last it three days?

Accepted Answer

Irregularity: This depends on how old are you, what is your usual menstrual cycle, and whether or not you are in menopause. In any event, you probably need a gyn exam.

Question 5

went to gyno, got a routine exam done (not a pap smear). now (4 days later) i am bleeding (quite a bit). it started the day of exam and got worse from there. i have iud and havent had a period in months. is this normal? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Copper IUDs: bleed more, however progestin IUD's can allow some bleeding. If the bleeding continues, an exam, ultrasound with your doctor is appropriate.

Question 6

mom is 64 yrs old and hit menopause 14 yrs ago. she has been bleeding for 3 days. her ultrasound is normal, waiting for pap smear test once bleeding subsides. how serious is this? what could be the potential causes and next steps?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal bleeding ?'s: Post-menopausal bleeding in a 64 yo female may arise from the lining of the uterus (endometrium) , so a pap smear may not detect any abnormality.  A minor procedure to obtain endometrial cells may be necessary to determine the cause of bleeding (a "dilation and currettage").  Consult a gyn physician about this "next step".

Question 7

nearly 11 weeks pregnant and  had a pap smear three days ago. is it normal for me to just now experience slight bleeding with some yellow discharge?

Accepted Answer

Be rechecked: The bleeding may be from the Pap smear but it should cause yellow discharge. Be reassessed with cultures if required. If you have  cramping  or increased bleeding; be seen  in the ER. All the best.

Accepted Answer

Can be fibroids.: http://www.nerdpocalypse.net/diseases/female.html
cannot say in your particular case, but generally, the serious things are ruled out by the DNC and pap.

Question 9

is it normal to bleed a lot after a pap smear? if not then what can the problem be?

Accepted Answer

Not normal.: You can have a little bleeding after a pap.  If there were a problem they should have been able to see it at the time of pap.  If your bleeding continues you should see your doc.

Possible: It is possible that after touching the cervix with a spatulum, a brush, broom, or swabs to obtain a pap smear and/or cultures to test for sexually transmitted infections there is some spotting/bleeding.
