Irregular Bleeding between pap/ smear tests

Hi, worrying myself silly about irregular bleeding between periods, had my last smear/pap test 23 months ago and all was fine, all that was found was a cervical erosion. Im not sure if they can come back or not? My discharge/ bleeding has no smell and no pain. Is it unlikely to be cancer after having a clear pap test under 2 years ago?

    Hello Kelly1102, 

    I think it would not do any harm to talk to your doctor about this irregular bleeding you have had between periods even if you had a clear pap test under 2 years ago. The best thing to do then would be to make an appointment to see your GP and mention this bleeding. Your doctor will be in the best position to tell you more about it.

    Best wishes,
