A member asked:
I had sex and am scheduled for a colposcopy tomorrow. should i reschedule?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Intercourse will not alter the outcome of your colposcpy or a biopsy if that is indicated. We usually recommend no sexual activity for 24 hours prior to a pap smear. Sex may alter the results of a pap smear but it should not alter the results of a colposcopy.
