A pap smear should not be performed on a woman during her period. If there is blood from the pap smear, it is in most cases because there has been a contact bleed from the gathering of the samples. Some cervix cells can be quite sensitive and the collection of cells from the instruments can cause a bit of bleeding. This is not bad at all. It is good though if the clinicial lets the woman know and a panty liner be offered as the woman may notice spotting afterwards. :)
