A member asked:
I had a pap 2 days ago with some spotting but had sex on the third day and bled. i do not feel any pain or discomfort. should i seek medical help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The Pap smear can frequently cause a little of bleeding afterwards. I would not be concerned unless it persists for more than a week. Even then, it probably means very little but would be best if you contacted your physician to let them know.
