Thread: Those who have had a colposcopy

Oh and I founnd this> > > > > What to expect after colposcopy and biopsy Spotting/bleeding – you may have a little bit of spotting or a dark discharge for a day or two after biopsy. You may want to use a sanitary towel to protect your underwear but don’t use tampons for about a week until your cervix heals. If the bleeding doesn’t stop within a couple of days or if you are concerned, contact your...

I had a colposcopy 5 days ago. My ob/gyn did a colposcopy with a biopsy of abnormal tissue, and put this medicine on my cervix afterwards. I have been having severe cramping for 2 days now and am passing clots of what I think is this medicine, about the size of a gumball. These clots are like black and hard. Has anyone else experienced this? I also just read on a website that intercourse should not take place for at least a week afterwards,...

Im sorry you are having such a rough go of things. I too had a colposcopy with biopsy and didnt have any problems. I dont know what the medication was that he put on your cervix...my OBGYN never did that. Im not sure. The spotting is cervical irritation....no sex. Remember essentially he took a chunk out of your cervix! Hope you start feeling better, and if you are still getting that black discharge...and you are sure it isnt blood clots, I...

I had a colposcopy about 4 years ago. I did have bleeding after, just like passing a few clots, nothing severe. The doctor told me it was normal but if it got worse to go into the ER.

I am working in a gyn clinic right now and we advise patients that there should be nothing put into the vagina (sex, tampons, douching) for 1-2 weeks afterward, in order to decrease risk for infection and allow adequate healing. That's just what we tell them, but other offices may be different.... ?

THe black stuff is totally normal.? I get a biopsy about every 6 months for the last oh,3-4 years. My cramping usually lasted about a week, usually less but I have a everly high pain tolerance.? I think it depends on how big a sample they took really.

Yes, the cramping and heavy bleeding is completely normal. I bleed for about a week with the first few days being the heaviest, including blood clots.? This may be TMI, but my DH and I were suppose to wait 2 weeks before we had sex. We had sex at about a week and a half. After sex I had very heavy bleeding for about three/four days. I am not sure if that was caused by having sex or maybe we ripped the scab or something. Just FYI ?
