text: i had a colposcopy about a week ago how long should i wait to have sex?   your doctor should have told you and it depends on what they were looking for.  if they were only checking the tissue inside of your cervix because of an abnormal pap, you should be able to continue mild intercourse when you have no more discomfort or bleeding.  if you were being checked for vaginal warts, you should wait until your results come back.  warts are infectious to your sex partner.  i hope your test comes back clear.  i had this done after an abnormal pap before, it can be scary.  to be sure....call your doctor!
