A member asked:
Is it normal to have blood on the brush during a pap test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pap smear bleeding: The brush used to obtain cellular material for pap smears is an irritant, and delicate blood vessels in the cervical region can be injured with resultant bleeding. If this is contributed to by chronic inflammation of the cervix, it can be treated by your gyn physician.
