Cervical Biopsy
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.
What are the potential complications after the procedure?
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.
