A member asked:
Hi. i''ve recently had a pap smear on monday. i started my period wednesday. but for some reason it is extremely heavy. (i've never experienced this) i woke up three times in the night to change because it was so heavy. is this normal?

Unrelated: A PAP test should not cause heavy bleeding. It would be prudent for you to take oral iron supplement and multivitamin to prevent iron deficiency and anemia due to excessive blood loss. It this pattern persists for more than two periods, it would be time to see your doctor.
