What Causes Vaginal Spotting After A Pap Smear?
It has been a week since my pap, this morning I started having spotting. Not enough to have wear a tampon or pad but there are clots. My period was two weeks ago (day 1). I always have discharge during my ovulation time, I have not had any signs of ovulation. I am probably over reacting but I am curious

Hi welcome to the health care magic
You are spotting frequently as per your history
Pap smear will be able to detect if any specific cervical organic cause present
Here for work up you can consult gynecologist for pelvic and per speculum examination...
USG should also be done....
If fibroid, endometriosis, ovarian causes etc present than treated accordingly...
If spotting more and found suitable than Hormonal pill like progesterone might prescribed
Take care
Consult gynecologist for examination
