I am 19 weeks pregnant and had a colposcopy last Wednesday. I now have swelling and what feels like pressure around the outside of my vagina. I spoke with a nurse earlier who thought it was irritation from medicine used to stop bleeding during the colposcopy. I ve noticed an odor now, and am wondering if I should go to the ER or if I would be OK to wait and see my doctor tomorrow morning.
Hi. You can wait and see your doctor tomorrow morning, this is not an emergency, and we should also be considerate to the medical staff working at the ER, by not troubling them with cases that are not urgent. The odor could be related to the healing process, but could also be related to infection if the procedure was not conducted well enough. Speak to your doctor about it when you meet him/her tomorrow. Best wishes.
