Q: douche after Colposcopy

I had a colposcopy 1 week ago and I wanted know it was safe to douche at this point. I am still getting a little of the discharge from the blood and the medicine mixing, how long should that last?

Douching is not a good. It clears out all the 'good' bacteria your body creates and can cause things like overgrowth of yeast, etc.

Ask your doctor at your next appointment (in another week or two?) when or if it would be appropriate to douche.

I actually dont douche regularly but I wanted to try and get rid of the discharge but I guess I will have to wait until it stops on its own. I thought that it would be gone by now since it has been a week but thanks for the info.
