Q: vulvar biopsy
asked by: bbtaz88 on August 1st, 2003

I have recently had a vulvar biopsy. My physician instructed me to use Neosporin 2x daily and didn't give me an antibiotic. I have been itching, VERY sore, swollen and the entire area has been "weeping" for a week. It was so bad that I went to the doctor and was re-examined. He stated I was fine. I don't feel fine. It hurts to use the bathroom.

Can anyone offer me insight to what's going on with my body? Confused

Give it some time.
After any genital biopsy, there's going to be some effects on the urine such as dysuria (which you seem to be experiencing), which in this case should only be temporary.

I'm curious as to what your vulva was diagnosed with. Did the doctor diagnose you with anything like vulvitis, or vulvovaginitis? He should've diagnosed you with something or else a biopsy shouldn't have been needed. If he specifically diagnosed you with nothing, then there's no cause for worry.

Either way, I'm guessing it'll just take time to heal. If not, then appeal strongly to your doctor that your symptoms prove you to need more medical attention, even if he says you "should" be okay. But I'm pretty sure that time is the healer of these effects of this sort of biopsy.

You said you were told to take neosporin eh? I'm thinking that maybe Aloe Vera would be best. Just a suggestion. Get well!
