She again said it was normal but I looked it up (I don't know why I did but I did) and it comes up as a symptom of cervical cancer. But I also found lots of sites that say it's perfectly normal. I'm going to try as hard as I can not to worry, but I just wondered if anyone else had experienced spotting after a pelvic exam? Any replies would be much appreciated. Thanks.
