Questions about a colposcopy and a biopsy? |
I am having this procedure done tomorrow! I have done a lot of reading on and it looks to be a painful experience! Can anyone give me a little insight or even some reasurance? Thanks!
Best answer:
The procedure is actually quite quick (about the same length of time as a PAP) and is only slightly more uncomfortable.
You will most likely experience some moderate cramping when they biopsy the surface of the cervix and some heavy cramping if they're biopsying the cervical passage. The cramping should end rather quickly after the biopsy is done.
You will probably spot for a day or two and might have some irregular period bleeding (if you're not using the pill), and maybe some cramping, but nothing worse than a period cramp. You should be able to take some ibuprofen when they're done...don't take it prior because it may cause a little more bleeding during the biopsy procedure.
You'll do fine. I had mine done and went back to work an hour later! |
