A member asked:

How soon after colposcopy biopsy can i have sex? the gyn took some samples from cervix with forceps.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Risk of bleeding: If would be prudent to wait a couple of weeks so that the cervix has a chance to heal. If you have sex too soon there may be bleeding due to trauma to the cervical wound.
