A member asked:

I was scheduled for a follow up appointment after a colposcopy/ why didn't doctor talk to me in recovery?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Need results: During colposcopy, abnormal tissue is removed and then sent to lab.. So the results are not immediately available.

Better information: Unless there is a striking problem, doctors prefer to wait a period of time for anesthesia to get out of your system and sometimes a wait for laboratory results to arrive. The doctor wants to give you information when you are fully alert and can ask helpful questions. He/she is not avoiding you.
