A member asked:

Had a papsmear and started menpause in2008 but after my papsmear today when got home i notice spotting is that normal never spotted after pap before?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Epithelial atrophy: Hormonal loss at menopause causes atrophy of vaginal and cervical mucosa and it becomes more susceptible to injury. If the spotting does not stop in a couple of days, contact your doctor. Wish you good health!
