Talk to MD: If you are bleeding more than a heavy period, you need to let your doctor's office know. It is unusual to have profuse bleeding after a pap smear. Many women have some spotting or light bleeding. If have int? Means have intercourse, i would not recommend it. Whatever is bleeding on the cervix may be aggravated by intercourse.

???: Do you mean can you have intercourse? That is up to you. You should call your doctor about the bleeding though. Maybe they hit a polyp( pretty common) and were in a hurry and failed to mention it to you.
