A member asked:
Could the doc use a topical anesthetic for cervical biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
