I am 59, had a smear test and removal of coil. smear test was very painful and i have noticed blood on paper when wiping. is this normal side effect?

Yes: The vaginal area becomes less lubricated with age and starts to atrophy . Speculum examination may cause pain and result in mild bleeding. If bleeding persist or worsens see your doctor.
