Colposcopy side effects ? Posted: 05-26-08 15:34pm
I got one on tuesday, my first, and just
had a little brown discharge here and
there, but friday afternoon i started
bleeding like a period, then later on just
back to the discharge which keeps going
back and forth from little discharge to a
lot of discharge. Plus it has a terrible
smell, some one please tell me this is
normal? my doctors office is closed for
holiday.

Do you mean you had a colonoscopy? If this
is the procedure you had I would return to
the doctor or go see your gynecologist.
You need to be sure the scope didn't
perforate the tissue and cause a fissure
into the vagina.

hi cherrysodapop, I'm not sure why you
would have the on and off bleeding (and I
am not in the medical field) -- however, I
have had two colposcopy's - each resulting
in brown and yellow clumpy odd (and
smelly) discharge. So, I wouldn't be too
alarmed at the discharge - however, if it
is still continuing after 2 or 3 days, I
would definitely contact my doctor.
Good luck to you and I hope all works
out!!

I am sorry about my previous post.
Irrelevant information. The doctor may
have done a biopsy during the exam which
would result in some bleeding. As for the
odor you may want to consult with the
doctor concerning this. Vinegar is used
during the procedure to make any abnormal
tissue show up. I am not sure if this
would result in an odor post procedure or
not.
