Is it normal to have bleeding from a cervical HPV sample?

Usually, it is normal for women to have bleeding during cervical HPV sampling. Because the sampling tool is a brush with a long handle, the brush is gently pressed on the cervical opening and rotated clockwise to take the sample, the brush may damage the cellular tissue of the cervical opening to a certain extent, resulting in bleeding, especially if the cervical and cervical opening tissues have erosion-like changes, the probability of bleeding during the sampling will be greater. It is not necessary to be too nervous and worried about this situation, as the bleeding is small and short, or even stops after pressure. Avoid sexual intercourse for 3 days after sampling, avoid bathing, and pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of your private parts. If you find that the bleeding does not stop or increases after the sample is taken, it is best to observe the bleeding in the outpatient clinic, and if necessary, carry out treatment to ensure that the bleeding situation improves before leaving the hospital.
