Hello Anonymous,
I think the ER doctor made the right call. Treat the urinary tract infection first. A Pap smear can be done at a later date, maybe at the follow up appointment.
So glad that you had this checked out:)

Hello Anonymous,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns about your period.
Bleeding for close to three weeks is abnormal and puts you at risk for anemia. You need to schedule an appointment for a pelvic examination and evaluation with your gynecologist. A blood test to check your hemoglobin and hematocrit might be necessary due to blood loss from prolonged vaginal bleeding. Your doctor may order a pelvic ultrasound to check for uterine fibroids, which can cause a heavy period.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus. They often appear during childbearing years. Heavy menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstrual periods with seven days or more of menstrual bleeding are two signs of uterine fibroids.
