Hello! I have just come home from my routine gyno appointment and when I went to the toilet I noticed some blood on my panties. Could it be that the doc irritated something that casued this bleeding. What should I do?

Hi! I experienced the same problem a month ago. I also got scared and called my doc right away. She explained that she was performing a pap test, and it often happens that while doing this, some blood may appear. It is because they are using a small brush to remove cells from inside the cervix. These cells come from tissue that is very thin and prone to bleeding. The bleeding goes away on its own, and there is nothing one should worry about. If you had pap done, this may be your case as well. If the bleeding persists, you should call your doctor.
