Hi Anon,

Thank you for your post and welcome to EmpowHer!
After a Colposcopy & Biopsy, intercourse should be avoided for about a week.

Also, you may experience:

Vaginal pain that lasts one or two days
Light bleeding from your vagina that lasts a few days
A dark discharge from your vagina

Use a pad to catch any blood or discharge. Avoid tampons and douching.

Hope this helps!

Rosa
