What Is The Treatment For Bleeding After Intercourse?
Hi doctors.
I am a 23 year old femal, 5'7 and have one 2 year old child. For about 4 months I began lightly spotting inbetween periods, and after incourse (not always) I am really worried that I have cancer. I have a pap test appointment at the beginning of May but just wanted to get any input. I am really scared. My last pap was October 2008 and was normal
