1. since PAP smear can irritate the cervix and also after a pap test many women have experience a surge of blood to their cervix and reproductive organs so it may be a normal/natural phenomenon unless there is/are associated immune problems, HIV, early sexual activity, pregnancy.

2. If the bleeding increases or cots form, contact your physician.
