Colposcopy question!?!

Colposcopy question!?

I had my first colposcopy a year ago. I had my second one last friday. It was much worse, much more painful. The first time I went, they said 'absolutely no intercouse within 14 days'. This time, a year later, they said 5 days! Do I risk an infection if I have sex after 5 days??

My goodness. Can't people tell the differense between COLPOSCOPY and COLONOSCOPY!? Tsk Tsk.

There's nothing wrong with having sex if you just had the Colpo because that's just the scope the doctor puts into your vagina, but you're talking about the biopsies. I've had six Colpo's within the last year and two biopsy sessions over 3 areas on my cervix (not fun!). My doctor told me to abstain for 5-7 days after each biopsy....and with five days only (of healing), it wont do your cervix any good. Trust me-it will be uncomfortable. I'd go with your first visit advice-it's best to wait 2 weeks until the biopsied areas on your cervix are completely healed, and after 2 wks. is up-then you can have sexual intercourse.
