Cuáles son los riesgos:

Después de la biopsia, puede presentarse algún sangrado hasta por una semana. Se le debe informar al médico si el sangrado es muy profuso o dura más de dos semanas, o si se observa cualquier signo de infección (fiebre, olor fétido o flujo).

Si el examen o la biopsia no muestra la razón por la cual la citología resultó anormal, el médico puede sugerir que la persona se someta a una biopsia más extensa.

Para permitir que el cuello uterino sane, durante una semana se deben evitar:

Las duchas vaginales
Las relaciones sexuales
El uso de tampones
