You may have to lie down for a few minutes after the test is over. The doctor will tell you what he or she saw. The test results should be ready in a few days or weeks, depending on the lab. Ask the doctor what other steps you should take and when you should come back for a checkup. The doctor should be able to make a better diagnosis of the problem in your cervix and vagina and suggest further treatment if necessary.
Risks are minimal.
Complications rarely occur. Minor bleeding from the biopsy site may occur. You should ask your doctor how these risks apply to you. You have questions about the test or its result. You want to make another appointment.
