Hi, one week ago I began spotting after sex so visited my doctor. I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with a cervical ectropion or 'cervical erosion'. She then gave me a Pap smear and I have had spotting since.

However today, now 3 days after my papsmear I came home to find my underwear covered in bright red blood, indicating fresh blood rather than old.

I am on the pill and my period is not due for another 5 days. I have never experienced any bleeding like this since being diagnosed 3 days ago.

Could this bleeding be stress related?
