A member asked:

I have painful cramping after a cervical biopsy performed yesterday. i have leftover naproxen, is this okay to take in this situation for pain? (a21)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is not uncommon to have cramping after a biopsy. You may also have bloody discharge. Any non-asperin (you don't want to inhibit clotting) pain medication or anti-inflammatory (NSAID) would be fine.
