A member asked:
If you douche day or couple days before colposcopy does that effect biopsy results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Douche with usual solutions is not likely to alter the tissue enough to affect biopsy results. Though it would be better to not douche before examination as the presence of discharge, if any, is part of the evaluation.
