Colposcopy - directed biopsyFrom our partner site on chronic pain, ChronicPainConnection.com.
Biopsy - colposcopy-directed What the risks are: After the biopsy, there may be some bleeding for up to a week. Avoid sexual intercourse, douching, and using tampons, for 2 weeks to allow the biopsy area to heal. If bleeding is unusually heavy or lasts for longer than 2 weeks, or if you notice any signs of infection (fever, foul odor, or discharge), notify your health care provider. Special considerations: If the colposcopic examination or biopsy does not show why the Pap smear was abnormal, a more extensive biopsy may be suggested (see Cold knife cone biopsy).
