What Can I Do To Gain Sensation Back After Losing Tissue?

What can I do to gain sensation back after loosing tissue? I have had two colposcopys in the past 4 years and it just doesn t feel the same at all. The first time you would have thought it was a LEAP the doctor took so much tissue and there was more bleeding than the second...

Hi,

Unfortunately, loss or lack of sensation following colposcopy is a recognized complication which (if after 2-4 years) is likely going to remain permanent.

It is a very uncommonly reported complication of the procedure but can happen based upon scarring of the biopsied area and other uncontrollable factors.

With the loss of sensation in that area, you may wish to talk to your doctor about other possible sidelight causes for numbness in that area unrelated to the biopsy procedure since other things could also be causing the problem.

So check with them as well and see if they can re-examine you to see if there may be a simple explanation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
