How will the Test Feel?
A colposcopy is painless. Some women feel a slight stinging sensation caused by the vinegar solution. The biopsy may feel like a pinch each time a tissue sample is taken and may have some cramping with it.
Any pain or cramping occurring during the biopsy may be helped by relaxing and taking a few slow deep breaths. Some cramping may occur after the biopsy. Many women have a tendency to hold their breath during pelvic procedures in anticipation of pain. Making an effort to concentrate on slow, regular breathing will help you relax and reduce or eliminate some pain.
