A member asked:
I had a pap smear yesterday and the doctor said my cervix was a little irritated. then i have had heavy bleeding all day today. should i be worried?

Not uncommon: When the pap smear was done the MD probably noted cervical redness and inflammation with blood vessels visible on the cervical surface. A pap smear involves cervical "scraping" which can in of itself produce bleeding post procedure, let alone when the surface blood vessels are present and easily interrupted.
