Hiya. Had a STD swab test today and there was some blood on the swab. I also have had a bit of blood spotting and uncomfortable feeling when urinating. Is this normal??

I'm female. The nurse said it was normal for there to be blood on the cotton. I just went to the toilet and pain has now stopped! Anyway I could have just inserted swab to far? I'm worried now

female or male?

If female are you getting your period, if not then not its not normal to bleed and have painful urination.

If male... then no not at all
