Bleeding after cervical cancer screening may be normal, or it may be caused by cervicitis, cervical erosion, etc. If the bleeding is not much, it usually stops after 2-3 days; if the bleeding is more and continues for several days without relief, you should go to the hospital promptly to clarify the cause of bleeding and carry out treatment. Common causes and treatment 1. Normal phenomenon: the cervical cell tissue is more fragile, whether doing TCT or HPV examination, samples need to be taken at the cervix, and if the cervix is stimulated, bleeding can occur. Generally this slight bleeding will last for 2-3 days, during which sexual intercourse should be avoided to avoid infection and aggravate the bleeding. 2. Cervicitis: cervical cancer screening stimulates the inflamed cervix and abnormal vaginal bleeding occurs, often accompanied by symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge or abnormal vaginal bleeding. Generally, oral antibiotics are taken as prescribed by doctors for treatment, in addition, pay attention to rest and avoid straining. 3. Cervical erosion: Cervical erosion is a physiological phenomenon of cervical columnar epithelial outgrowth, which can cause a small amount of vaginal bleeding after cervical cancer screening, and generally no treatment is needed. Precautions 1. A small amount of bleeding after cervical cancer screening without other symptoms can be temporarily observed; if the bleeding is heavy, you should seek medical attention promptly to clarify the diagnosis and treat the cause; 2. Arrange the examination to be performed during non-menstrual period and avoid sexual intercourse 24 hours before the examination; 3. Also, do not douche the vagina or use vaginal suppositories within 24-49 hours before the examination, and do not perform internal vaginal examination.
