How long does cervical biopsy gauze take?

After cervical biopsy, the gauze is usually removed 24 hours later. After cervical biopsy, due to local trauma, the patient usually has bleeding symptoms. In order to reduce bleeding, gauze is usually used to compress the local area, and it is usually recommended to remove the gauze 24 hours later. This is a more appropriate time interval verified by clinical practice. Early removal may lead to incomplete hemostasis and rebleeding; late removal may increase the risk of infection. However, before removing the gauze, the patient should pay attention to his own vaginal bleeding. If there is obvious massive bleeding, such as continuous blood gushing, soaking sanitary napkins, etc., seek medical advice promptly, and may need to remove the gauze in advance and further treatment.
