Must I do anything special after the test is over?

  • If you have the test done with local anesthesia, you can go home right away. If you have regional or general anesthesia, you will need to stay for a few hours to be watched by your doctor. If you have general anesthesia or anti-anxiety medication, you should not drive or drink alcohol after the test.

    You should notify your doctor if you have a fever over 101° F, strong abdominal pain, or heavy bleeding from your vagina.
