'Pouched' cervix that bleeds easily?From: Melissa (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 13 Feb 2001 10:56:05 -0600 (CST)
I was going to include everything I wanted to say in my other post, but it was much too long. I just wanted to mention something that was discovered during my PAP test this morning that I not really sure if I should be concerned about. When my gynecologist was swabbing my cervix, it started to bleed. This is something that I've experinced alot in the past few years, I imagine, because other doctors have mentioned it. My gynecologist decided to take a better look at my cervix with a microscope and said that it bleeds easily because my cervix is "pouched" and this causes the inner "vasular" part of my cervix to be exposed. He said that this is not abnormal and that many women have this problem and that it's something that you're born with. But I can't understand why I haven't always had this bleeding with my PAP tests if I've always had this problem. I always assumed that bleeding during a PAP test would affect the accuracy of the results. I do have a tipped/retroverted uterus, but not sure if this has anything to do with it. I'm wondering if this exposure of the inner cervix could be the reason I experience alot of pain when the speculum is inside me and when I am having an internal. Is this really a normal thing and something I shouldn't be concerned about?
