bleeding after punch biopsy

Cervical screening results
1

Hi Ladies,

I had my colposcopy on Monday and they performed a punch biopsy.

I havent had any bleeding until today, I went to the toilet this morning and noticed there was what looked like a black lump in the toilet, which I have read on my sheet this could be called a plug.

I have been to the toilet again this afternoon and I am bleeding bright red blood, is this normal, and has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks

Sarah

Hi Sarah I had my ounch biopsy the day after you. Did they also tell you the results would take 4 weeks to come back?

I’m here because I’m going through this too! Had my punch biopsy yesterday and have started bleeding like I am having a period today. It’s quite worrying isn’t it?! I feel faint because I know this relates to an injury! Why doesn’t there seem to be ANY advice about this on the nhs pages? Google searches just bring me here!
