A member asked:
Last week wednesday, i had my annual pap. i was still spotting from my period but i still have dark spotting. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: This is normal. When the pap is done a small brush called a cytobrush is used to sample the inside of the cervix. This area is very vascular and you may have spotting a few days afterwards.
