A member asked:
Had a pap smear today, is it normal to have severe cramping after wards? i've never had this pain after a pap before.

Can happen: Sometimes if the cervix is inflamed or infected after a pap smear you may have some cramping. If they did a biopsy inside the cervical os again you may have cramping. If the cramping increases or marked bleeding check with provider
