How long it takes to get the results of colposcopy may vary from hospital to hospital due to different processes and regulations. In the case of cervical examination evaluation, the results are usually judged on the spot by the physician and are available after the examination in some hospitals; in the case of pathological examination, it often takes about 7-10 days to get the pathology report. Colposcopy varies according to each individual and usually an image report is issued after the examination. However, if the physician believes there is an abnormality, a biopsy will need to be taken for further pathological examination in the pathology department, which usually takes about 7-10 working days for the hospital to produce the results. Patients should also be aware that they should avoid vaginal irrigation, medication and intercourse before the colposcopy. Also, no sexual intercourse should be allowed within half a month of the colposcopy biopsy, and the second examination should be at least half a month later.
