What are the effects of having laser hair removal and a colposcopy which resulte!
Question: I had a laser hair removal done on my bikini area in the morning and ended up having to have a colposcopy which resulted in a biopsy in the afternoon. I have been cramping badly and very swollen for the past week after the procedure. I went to see my doctor to ensure I was okay but she said I was just healing. Last night I was cramping so bad that I began to vomit. Today, I am still cramping but not vomiting. Should I be worried?

Well laser hair removal and culposcopy of the cervix aren't related.
I'm not clear when you had the culposcopy done, but it is not unusual to have cramping if you have a biopsy done. Did you have a cone biopsy? If so that takes a larger cone size shaped size out of your cervix which can cause cramping.
Check with your doctor, but usually motrin works well for uterine cramping. You can take up to 800mg every 8 hours if the cramping is severe. Most over the counter motrin/ibuprofen is only 200mg, so that means 4 tablets.
BUT read the label to be sure.
