Can rectal bleeding be a sign of internal bleeding?
Answers:
my medician told me that it is possible if we have a kind of cervix which is vulnerable to any kind of rubbing, or such things.
blood on pap smear is normal, sometimes u bleed a bit and sometimes you don't. the cervix could just be a bit irritated
Getting a pap smear is a pretty evasive thing. They have to get a sample of the lining of your cervix. Your cervix could just be sensitive. Don't worry about things unless the results say you need to.
You could have had your pap right when your body was releasing the egg as well (peek time for pregnancy). Some women spot on that day, others cramp, some even lightly bleed.so see? There are a few reasons that you could have had a blood smear.
Hope that helps!
In the last year they have changed the 'wand' they use to take the smear. The new wand means that they get better results and less contaminated smears, but it means that there is more 'scratching' of the cervix. My practise nurse told me when I had to have mine a month ago. It shouldn't last more than 3 days.
