Worried after smear test
« on: August 09, 2018, 08:11:46 AM »

Hi. I had a smear test yesterday and had a slight brownish discharge after. I got quite worried, is this normal?
Thanks

It's probably caused by that horrible brush thing they now use!
Yes, it's is quite normal, I had a fair bit of spotting after my last one.

Thanks Tinkerbell.
Just never had a discharge before, but it's OK now, wait for the results in 2 weeks now.

Thanks Dahliagirl
It was also so painful. I'm on HRT, evorel conti, think I might ask the Dr for vagifem, as I still have dryness.
