What could cause blood on pap smear - no period?
I had a pap smear and it came back "partially obscuring blood". The only problem is, I haven't had a period for almost a year. They are going to retest in a month but what could cause blood other than menstruation? I have had uterine fibroids in the past, could that do it? I have had no bleeding or spotting. My doctor didn't offer any suggestions, just wants to retest.

Also, if you had recently had sex, is there any possibility your cervix got bonked (by the tip of his penis)? If that happened and it was sensitive, it could probably bleed a little. But I would also go with the fibroids theory.

Strange, right? Are they concerned you have no period for a year? How old are you? That's usually not what they want if you haven't been through menopause. Fibroids do cause bleeding, very common actually. I'd ask your doctor specifically about this.
