Light spotting after sexual intercourse
I am a 30 year old married woman. I am sexually active with only one partner since almost 2 years. Yesterday I experienced little vaginal bleeding after intercourse. I saw the bleeding after I wiped my genitals with a napkin. After that, there wasn’t any bleeding. I had a similar episode around 4-5 months back but the bleeding was very little so I thought maybe it was because of a vaginal injury due to fast sex or deep penetration. I went to gynaecologist today and did sonography which was perfectly normal. The doctor gave me antibiotics for 3 days as it could be a vaginal injury. But she also said that bleeding after intercourse could be a sign of cervical cancer and if bleeding happens again, they will do PAP smear test to check for that. I am really scared and can’t live with the feeling that I might be having cancer. I want to rule out all the possibilities of a cancer by doing all the tests but the doctor asked me to wait until it bleeds again. What should I do?

Your doctor has told.
Please get your Pap smear done.
Please also get High Vaginal Swab done.
Physical examination of the vagina and cervix are the two most important things to do.
