Hi I had a biopsy on my groin done on Friday, they took 3 samples, just wondering do you know if this would cause me to bleed the next day, like having a period ?
Thanks

Hello Reb29 and thanks for the post
I am sorry to hear you are undergoing tests and this must be a worrying time for you.
Whilst having a biopsy can cause some bleeding at the site where the biopsy needle was taken this shouldn't cause a period.
It may just be a coincidence but do let your doctor know if you are concerned or the bleeding is different to a normal period for you.
I hope you know more soon about your situation.
Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
