Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Taking pap smear usually do not cause any bleeding from a healthy cervix. There may be some erosion or abnormal changes on the cervix which has caused it to bleed on touch.
I would suggest you to wait for the results of the pap smear nd further management should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
