No: Typically a Pap test does not produce bleeding unless there was something going on at the time such as a mild case of cervicitis (mild vaginal infection), a possible polyp that was disturbed etc.. Best to call the physician who performed the Pap and report your symptoms especially if you think the bleeding is heavy

VAGINAL BLEEDING : Vaginal bleeding, a small amount after a pap is normal. A large amount needs a full evaluation. Follow up with your doctor for repeat exam/Labs. You may need a work up for clotting disorders and a pelvic ultrasound to check for any source of the bleeding . IF IT WORSENS ACUTELY GO TO THE ER.
