Hay there.

I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had a punch biopsy of the cervix during a colposcopy. How long did your bleeding go on for ?

I have had one before, but it was a little while ago now, and i have forgotten.

Thanks

Hi Camom,

I only had bleeding the same day with the punch biopsy, and about a week after a LLETZ (which the doc seemed to think was a lot). I guess it depends how sensitive your cervix is though maybe?

I take it you have one coming up - all the best with it all

I had a punch biopsy but I think it was the vaginal wall. The gyn didn't warn me how much I would bleed, and it gave me quite a fright... I ended up in bed for the afternoon afterwards.

I can't remember how long it went on for, though. (was nearly five years ago)

But then I had a bit of bleeding with my smear yesterday, and its still ouchy today, so I think I am quite sensitive!

Thanks sequina and G*A*

I did the Mr Google and apparently up to a week of bleeding is considered normal. Over 2 weeks and it needs reporting (and/or smelly discharge, ongoing pain and fever obviously)

Day 3 and I'm still going, but it's pretty minimal. I am a bleeder though. I was still bleeding at each of my 6 week check ups post-delivery Annoying, but just me

hi Camom
ive had 3 punch biopsys (lucky me..) and i bled for a while, was spotting a week later still..but it faded eventually and by about 10 days i was fine again if i remember rightly. so you should be right soon
