Do you need to stay in bed after cervical biopsy?

Bed rest is required after cervical biopsy.

Bed rest helps reduce the risk of bleeding. Cervical biopsy can cause a small wound in the cervix. Although bleeding is usually small, proper bed rest can prevent further bleeding caused by physical activity.

At the same time, rest can promote wound healing, maintain a relatively quiet state, and allow the body to concentrate on repair, so that the wound can return to normal faster.

In addition, bed rest can reduce the opportunity for pathogens such as external bacteria to enter the wound to a certain extent and reduce the possibility of infection.
