Question 1

if my cervical biopsy results haven't come back yet after 4 weeks is this good news like every1 has been telling me? thankyou

Accepted Answer

Check with doctor: Not having the results is neither good nor bad. Please call your doctor to find the result of biopsy and follow her/his advice for follow up and care.

Question 2

i just got my cervical biopsy results  and was wondering what does unremarkable squamous mucosa mean? benign endocervical tissue.

Accepted Answer

No tumor: The information you provided means that there is no need for any concern. Your tissues were normal.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 3

need help assessing colposcopy/cervical biopsy results.
ecc:  mucus neutrophils and superficial squames
cervical biopsy: focal hpv effect, ectocervix ?

Accepted Answer

Colposcopy ?'s: When "HPV effect" (human papilloma virus) is noted on cervical biopsy, your physician should order HPV typing, as several strains of the virus are known causes of dysplasia, which can change into overt cervical carcinoma.

Question 4

trying to understand my cervical biopsy results: benign ectocervical tissue, scant benign endoservical epithelium, mucus, squames and acute inflammatory cells. is it something that needs to be treated?

Accepted Answer

: All tests should be interpreted by the doc who obtained them in context of your full history and exam. That said, these words describe normal findings and a few cells that suggest irritation.

Question 5

how long does the cervical biopsy  and pap smear results take to come out or finished.?i had one done on oct 2nd this year and i have not been given.

Accepted Answer

1-2 weeks: Pap smear results should be back after 1-2 weeks, and may take another 1-2 weeks for the doctor to find time (in between seeing other patients) to review it. A patient should be sure to meet with the doctor in person to get the results, so she can ask the doctor questions if any worries.

Question 6

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 7

does a cervical biopsy hurt?

Accepted Answer

Yes, temporarily: There will be a "pinching feeling" during biopsy that goes away very shortly thereafter.

Question 8

green discharge after cervical biopsy, why?

Accepted Answer

Chemicals: The cervix and vaginal area produce mucus when irritated.  This causes a discharge while healing occurs.  The biopsy frequently causes some bleeding and this is stopped by applying a chemical to the cervix.  The blood, or the chemical, or a combination of both can give you a colored discharge.  

If you have fever, pain or other signs of infection, have it checked out.

Question 9

i had a cervical biopsy last week..its been a week today and i had intercourse. any risks i a should be aware of?

Accepted Answer

No special risks: If it has been a week since your cervical biopsy there are no special risks of sexual intercourse other than a slight risk of some post-coital spotting or bleeding. Hope this helps.

Question 10

i had cervical biopsy 5days ago, everything was fine but i started to bleed since yesterday. whats wrong? is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Not unusual: After a cervical biopsy a bit of bleeding is not unusual  and should clear up rapidly. You should refrain from intercourse until the lesion is healed.  If bleeding continues, see your doctor.
