What happens later at home?

For 1 to 2 days after a cervical biopsy, a woman may have a small amount of pinkish discharge from the vagina. For 2 to 3 days afterwards, she should avoid sexual intercourse, douches, and tampons.

A woman may experience minor bleeding after a cervical biopsy. Other potential complications include heavier vaginal bleeding, infection, or allergic reaction to the iodine used in the procedure. Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the healthcare provider.
