A member asked:

I had sex after having a biopsy of my cervix now i'm experiencing brown discharge and a foul odor. what could be wrong.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Knocked loose clot: The biopsy site can bleed if you have sex too soon after the procedure. Frequently the bleeding can cause changes in bacteria in the the vagina resulting in bacterial vaginosis. This condition can resolve spontaneously, but if it persists or worsens you should see your gynecologist.
