A member asked:
I want to have sex but i just had a cervical biopsy is this bad? what will happen if i do have sex within a couple of days after this procedure?

Wait 1 week: We normally recommend women refrain from the use of tampons and from intercourse for 1 week following a cervical biopsy. Infection and bleeding are potential complications if these instructions aren't followed.

Ill advised: If your partner wore a condom it would reduce the chances of transmission of infection, but even the condom can carry organisms onto a fresh wound where they can cause infection. The trauma to the area by repetitive hammering of the penis onto the cervix can also induce bleeding. Would wait about a week.
