Question about pap smear?

Question

i had my first pap today,and i noticed quiet a bit of blood when i went to get dressed is this normal?? she also said my uterus was higher than it should be. Is that bad?

Answer 1

normal.  and if there was a real problem with your uterus being higher than most, the doc wouldve mentioned it.

Answer 2

Well I guess it depends on what's quiet a bit, using a pad is normal.  It's common to have a displaced uterus, most women's aren't text book.  Though it maybe higher than normal, it doesn't represent a problem unless your doctor says so.  Now a day's most doctors don't even say anything about the position of the uterus unless there are other problems, and in your case I don't think there is since she didn't mention there was.  Some common medical words you hear regarding the position of your uterus is tilted, retroverted, inverted, antiflexed, retroflexed, but they have no baring on fertility.  To read more check out this site:  http://www.gynob.com/utepro.htm

Answer 3

Yea it is normal to slightly bleed after a first pap smear. so don't worry you will be fine.

Answer 4

No, its not bad ist normal. Some women have an introverted cervix- tilts to the back- or a retroverted cervix- where it tilts up to the public bone. They're all normal and none of them affect childbirth or anything.
