A member asked:

Could i take a bath after a colposcopy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: If there is no biopsy, you can take a bath after the colposcopy right away. If you have extensive biopsies, it's better to wait one to two weeks for the biopsy sites to heal. This applies to intercourse as well.
