Colposcopy Posted: 11-14-03 17:32pm
In regard to the use of tampons, I do
believe it's 3-4 weeks before you can
start wearing tampons. However, from my
own experience, I quit using tampons after
my first colposcopy and biopsy ! If you
have any other related questions on this
topic you can just reply to this. I had
my colposcopy done in april along with a
biopsy. I then had a cold cone biopsy
done in june.....I'm recently scheduled
for another biopsy !!!

You know, I think it depends on the doctor
in regards to how long you have to wait.
My doctor was going to put a tampon in
right after she did the biopsy to catch
the bleeding from the incisions (but I
didnt want anything else up there anymore
so I opted for the pad).

That stuff coming out is the medicine(dont
remember what it's called) after the took
the sample of the cells. It's normal and
disgusting. I was given a pad to put on
afterwards and she warned me about it

Painful Intercourse After Colposcopy Posted: 11-24-03 01:26am
I had the colposcopy done in january and
havent been with anyone since but a few
weeks ago I tried to have sex for the 1st
time after the procedure and it was very
painful and after awhile I started to
bleed this has never happened to me
before!!
Has this ever happened to anyone??

Started period 1 week after colposcopy Posted: 10-01-08 14:59pm
I had a colposcopy about a week ago, and
they say to wait two weeks to have sex,
but I only waited one week, there was no
pain involved at all, but the only thing
that is wierd is an hour after having sex
i started my period, which is the normal
time of the month but its really really
heavy, could there be something wrong? or
am I worrying to much?
Im not using tampons either cause they
said wait, but i didnt wait on having
sex...

It also depends what they did to you in
the colposcopy. I have had a couple of
colposcopies but in neither of them they
did a biopsy. So if there was no biopsy
and therefore nothing needs to heal then
you can use tampons right away.
