the cervix can become friable and bleed for many different reasons so i am sorry that your gyn did not explain it to you at the time of your pap. i can understand your anxiety since you were sort of left hanging after that comment. the most common reason would be cervicitis an infection that (obviously) involves the cervix and usually the vagina. many will simply self-resolve but this may also show up on your pap smear when you get the results. a small amount of bleeding can occur during a pap and can interfere with results so hopefully you will not have to have a repeat pap smear. as you mentioned the cervix can also be traumatized during sex so this may be the underlying reason. i think it would be important to have a follow up with your gyn if you continue to have post-coital bleeding.
cervix looks like a skinned knee. today i went to the gyno for concerns i was having with my birth control. she did a pap and said my cervix looked like a scrapped knee. then she took a sample and i started bleeding very bad. she told me its probably nothing but she took some tests. i'm very nervous now and i can't stop worrying. . . anyone had a similar experiance? . . p. s. i also recently had sex about 6 days ago and i cramped so bad and started bleeding. this has never happened before during sex.
