Question 1

my cervical biopsy results said i had a patch/growth on vagina. the doctor recommends surgery to remove it. could it come back?

Accepted Answer

It depends...: We cannot tell how it is going to behave and what is the probability of coming back until we know what it is. Usually when the lesion is removed a biopsy is done and they can tell you what it is. Only then the probabilities can be measured. Follow up with your doctor on this.

Question 2

i had a cervical biopsy 3 days ago.  my doctor said to wait a couple of days before having intercourse.  how long should i be waiting?

Accepted Answer

Instructions: It is a wise policy to follow your physician's instructions and if you still have further concerns, contact him/her again.

Question 3

can i have anal sex instead of vaginal sex after a cervical biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Sex question: Of course, yes.  Why would you think otherwise? The only recommendations for sex after a cervical biopsy would have come from your doctor, who i would bet gave you some guidelines to follow.

Question 4

it is safe to have anal sex and i did cum .. 
after cervical biopsy ??  do the doctor find out ?? thanks for answering my question ~~

Accepted Answer

It’s ok: Anal sex is permissible after a cervical biopsy  as the cervix is located at the back of the vagina not connected to the anal canal and rectum. Having an orgasm would not affect the previous cervical biopsy

Question 5

could the doc use a topical anesthetic for cervical biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Not effective: A cervical biopsy will involve removing tissue deep into the cervix requiring more analgesia than a topical anesthetic could deliver. The topical would only give some relief to superficial cervical cells. Many gyn perform a paracervical block which is 2 small injections of Lidocaine on the sides of the cervix causing anesthesia of  the deep cervix.

Question 6

is it possible for cervical biopsy to come back normal? had colposcopy and doctor said everything looked good but took biopsy. doc left room. advice

Accepted Answer

Yes: A biopsy may show normal structure. Some times a biopsy is done to make sure that things are normal.

Question 7

i have had 4 kids vaginally i've had a cervical biopsy a year ago. sex used to be comfortable but now its sometimes painful and uncomfortable why?!

Accepted Answer

Dyspareunia : Most women experience pain with intercourse at some point in their lives. There are many causes, although the most common is lack of vaginal lubrication due to low Estradiol levels as one gets older. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical exam to rule out other causes, but there are many over the counter remedies you can try for vaginal dryness in the mean time.

Question 8

i had a cervical biopsy done on the 15 i had sex last night and now my vagina is a lil sore and i have mild cramping does this means i'm not healed?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Every one heals at different rates from procedures. Most doctors will recommend avoiding intercourse for 1-2 weeks after cervical biopsy though some degree of soreness, mild bleeding, or cramping not all that unusual when intercourse resumes or cervix not yet completely healed. If symptoms persist for more than 24 hrs or worsen, always a good idea to contact your md or their nurse to get advice.

Question 9

i had a cervical biopsy 12 days ago had sex last night now my vagina sore and i have mild cramping do that mean i have an infection  can i soak in tub?

Accepted Answer

Back to OB/GYN doc: Yes, it is probably ok to soak in a tub, but you should go back and see the physician who did the biopsy and discuss this with them. You might try calling first and perhaps this could be resolved over the phone. Good luck.

Question 10

46 yr old with regular menses ,not menopausal who had a baby natural at 43 and pcos all my life which caused heavy menses since teen, is a endometrial biopsy necessary ? if i have vaginal ultrasounds yearly and normal then why doc still wants biopsy?

Accepted Answer

: Your doctor who has examined you and knows your health better than is feasible in this forum is better suited to address your concerns. If you have any doubts about it, you may get an opinion from another gynecologist.
