A member asked:

Does a colposcopy and taking 5 biopsys cause infertility? my results were negative but we haven't conceived in 10 months. can it cause scar tissue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Colon biopsy: No a colon biopsy should have no effect on your ability to conceive. A colon mucosal biopsy is relatively small, about 2mm's and heals without any scar formation.

Dr Callaghan agreed
