Cervical cancer

Hello

please May I ask some advice? 
I had a clear smear test in April 2021 but over the last 3 months I have been bleeding for longer after my monthly period and this is worsened by penetration. Please could anyone advise? Would this likely be related to cervical cancer if my last smear test was clear?

thank you xx

  • Hello there

    There can be a number of different reasons for irregular or bleeding after sex. Things such as hormonal changes, infections, vaginal dryness, ectropians and so on that you can read more about here and here

    It is reassuring you are up to date with your cervical screening so it is unlikely anything serious is going on so try not to over think things for now. At the same time I would suggest you arrange an appointment with your GP if this is continuing so they can check you out and arrange more tests if needed.

    All the best
