Had a few swabs taken by gynae on Friday, she noticed an erosion but didn't go into any detail (told me to chase up a smear as I'm due around now and I'm ringing GP for that tomorrow) i've had light bleeding since the swabs and I'm not sure what I should do about it? Is it something to be worried about? Thanks in advance.

Quite normal...but do discuss when you go for your smear.
I had thinning of one small area the cervix as a side effect of being on the pill which caused bleeding after vigorous sex and whenever I had a smear. Could be something simple like that. Definitely see an experienced GP and discuss your concerns & results.
Thank you they aren't sure what has caused the erosion, GP agreed I shouldnt have bled after a swab but also not willing to do anything as I still have a year left until my next smear (I forgot I was on every 3 years, previously 6m, 1y and thought I was still on 2ys.) Back to gynae in two months so will ask there.
