How long does it take for a cervical biopsy wound to heal?

The cervix is ​​located at the deepest part of the female vagina. It is very important for every woman. At the same time, the cervix is ​​also the part most susceptible to bacterial infection and inflammation. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during sexual life, it is easy to cause cervical inflammation and other diseases over time. Therefore, women must learn to take care of their bodies and perform cervical biopsy regularly. How long does it take for the biopsy wound to heal?

The wound from a female cervical biopsy generally requires a one to two month recovery period before the cervix returns to its previous state. This is because when doing a cervical biopsy, a small part of the cervical tissue is actually removed, which is still harmful to women. After a cervical biopsy, sexual intercourse is prohibited for one month. If you feel any discomfort, go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up in time.

Generally, the bleeding after a biopsy will not exceed 48 hours. It is best to pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, and do not stand or walk for a long time. It is best to sit or lie down. It is recommended that you pay attention to personal private hygiene, wash the vulva every day, change underwear, and disinfect underwear regularly, expose it to the sun for more than six hours, or scald it with boiling water.

After a cervical biopsy, it will take about 5-7 days to heal. Because cervical tissue is mucosal tissue, it has a particularly strong healing ability. However, it should be noted that after cervical biopsy:

1. You should not have sexual intercourse within half a month, mainly because it is easy to cause bleeding or even infection from the cervical biopsy wound.

2. You cannot take a sitz bath for 20 days after a cervical biopsy. If you do, it will lead to the invasion of pathogens and cause chronic cervical inflammation.

3. After the cervical biopsy, the pathology report will not be available until 5 working days later. The next treatment plan will be determined based on the pathology report.

4. After cervical biopsy, if the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstruation, you must go to the hospital for hemostasis treatment.
