Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi! My experience was very similar to CJ's. No big deal just uncomfy after, 'til it heals. --- cj wrote: > I've had several vulva biopsies in the last few > years. They've been done in the office.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 By uncomfy, I mean it will burn when you pee. It's messy, but if you can cover that spot when you go it'll hurt less and heal faster. --- hokeyfright wrote: > Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 My vulvar biopsy was not a bad experience. They numbed me up with Lidocane first and that was the only part that hurt...that injection of local anesthetic. After that it was just 3 tiny biopsies, one vaginally, one on the vulva and one on the labia majora. The only one that required stitches was the one on the labia majora. Once the lido. wore off I did not feel much (more) pain. I guess with all the pain in discomfort I was accustomed to having daily at that point anyways the biopsy was nothing. I will warn you on one thing. I was diagnosed with LS after my vulvar vestibulectomy. My biopsy found nothing. I guess the vulvar vestibulectomy gave them much more tissue to work with and test. So I would not count on the biopsy being 100% accurate. Bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
