If a woman's cervix bleeds with minimal contact, it may be a sign of chlamydia. Bleeding or spotting after a pap smear isn't necessarily a sign of chlamydia. Since you're concerned, contact your health care provider to make sure you were tested for chlamydia at the time of the pap smear.
Is the stage of a pap smear that is considered a normal test result?
The speculum (plastic or metal) is placed into the vagina to hold the walls of the vagina apart. The speculum goes under and over the cervix; this is the most uncomfortable you might feel. This lets the doctor visualize (see) the cervix. Then, the doctor brushes the cervix to obtain cells. This used to be called scraping. This is and should be painless. The nurse holds the glass media on which the doctor rubs the brush to transfer your cells to the media. The nurse labels this and sends it to the lab. The doctor removes the speculum and finishes the pelvic exam.
What does blood in a pap smear mean?
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. :)
