Facing A Biopsy Down There?
Are you facing a biopsy down there?
Me too! I am only a couple of weeks away from my 3rd one, and I recently turned 24 years old. Women often ask me what is the hardest part of a biopsy. I honestly believe the hardest part is the mental toll it takes on you. Just because we’re vulvastrong does not mean we can’t be scared or nervous. It is totally normal to have those feelings, and you should embrace them! But, vulvastrong DOES mean we will face the task head on, and get through it just like our other sisters have before!!
If you are facing a biopsy, the hardest part is waiting for the procedure to be performed. The anxiety that builds up is the worst although the procedure is relatively fast. Most women say the hardest part is the numbing shot. That is going to be the most “painful” part of it. But, it’s quick! I recommend asking your doctor for a stress ball or something to squeeze for the initial pinch. I count to 5 vulvas(instead of 5 Mississippi’s LOL), and then the numbing has commenced!! Next, they will perform the punch biopsy on any concerning areas, or white areas viewed during the colposcopy if one was completed. After the punch, they will snip the bottom of the punched skin to remove the punched portion from the vulva. Your doctor will then send the biopsy to the lab, and again the hardest part has began again... waiting!!! But, deep breaths, you vulvastrong queen. You just totally conquered the dreaded biopsy like an absolute BOSS, and now it’s time to relax, recoup, and be proud of your vulvastrong self!!!!
