HOW DO YOU KNOW IF COLOSCOPY GONE WRONG?

i had  a coloscopy  twice in 8 weeks , first the doctor had  to take a biopsy to check if i had some precancerous cells, when i went back for the results in 4 weeks, he told me that i had cn11 and he must remove it so i had almost the same  procedure like the first time , only that this time he was removing the bad area, its now 4 weeks after the last coloscopy, but i am having a lot of discharge that is yellowish, grenish and i have to wear asnitary pad for this , because its just too much, panty liners were not helping, when  i told my doctor, he gave me some  antbiotics thinking i have an infection, but i have finished the dose of the antibiotics but no change, do you think maybe the coloscopy have gone wrong? and shortly after the first coloscopy i noticed the sharp pain inside the walls near the opening of the vagina, when i had my period,which came 4 days earlier than usual, i couldnt wash it properly not alone using a tampax it was very painful, at first i though it was a cut due to the tool they use to open my vagina up during the coloscopy, but the pain is still persisiting, 2days ago i took a mirror to check myself, i saw what it looked like an uLcer, it was red around it and white in the middle, i try to clean is , some white cremish stuff were coming off but very painfull,I dont know what this means or what caused it, could it be the coloscopy gone wrong? i went back to my doctor but unfortunately he cant see me straight way ,i have to book an appointment, the earlies is next week friday,Please help if you know something please

My daughter is experiencing a similar situation, with the exception of so much discharge, greenish stuff, and or bleeding. However, she is just 15 years old. I don't know why the doctor wouldv'e given her a procedure such as this one, without a whole lot more specifics. She is in very bad pain, all the time since having theis colposcopy. HIs reasoning for given her this procedure is due to adnomal pap-smear. He claims he saw precancerous cells. She seems to be having more problems after this procedure, than she was having before. In fact, Her pap-smear was just a first time routine check. I am very worried and I blame myself for letting her undergo this procedure.

Hi,

How are you?

Infection and bleeding are common complications following colposcopy. Sometimes the infection can occur at the biopsy site.
Usually vaginal ulcers do not occur after colposcopy. A through examination is required to find out the exact cause. Take care!
