Why is there blood in the brush of HPV

When HPV testing is done clinically, a special brush is used to enter the cervical canal, brush the exfoliated cells, and then send them to the laboratory for examination. When the exfoliated cells are brushed, it will cause the local capillaries to rupture, so it will lead to bleeding. This kind of bleeding often manifests clinically as blood in the leucorrhea or only a small amount of bleeding, which usually clears up on its own in 2-3 days and does not cause other clinical symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain. So it is recommended that if you have a HPV test, you should not have sex for a week, and you should not take a bath for a week, only a shower, to avoid the possibility of infection, most of the HPV test results will be available the next afternoon.
