Can I Have A Cervix Biopsy During Pregnancy?

I am 28, currently pregnant, my blood sugar levels were slightly elevated, i have high blood pressure, only during pregnancy. My dr. said he found cancerous cells on my cervix. I have to do a biopsy soon, but nothing can be done until after i have my baby, i am not due until February. I am also having a lot of pain where my gallbladder is located. I get sharp pains, and it hurts alot and is really tender. I am really scared, and i do not know what to do.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Cervix biopsy is a slightly invasive procedure and best reserved after you have given birth to your baby. During the biopsy, a part of the tissue from the cervix will be sampled and looked under the microscope for cancer cells. This is better avoided now as you are having a pregnancy. Even though cervix biopsy rarely causes complications, it is not recommended that you should take chances.

The pain in the gall bladder region can be evaluated by doing an ultrasound scan of your abdomen. This will show any pain causing condition in your gall bladder and abdomen. Please discuss this with your gynecologist and she will arrange for you to have the ultrasound scan at the earliest and discuss the report findings with her. If required depending on the ultrasound report, you might require an opinion from the surgeon. Treatment is based on the cause of pain. Please do not worry.
