While biopsies are generally safe, there are potential risks and complications, including:
Bleeding: Minor bleeding is common, but severe bleeding may require medical attention. Infection: There is a risk of infection at the biopsy site, which may require antibiotic treatment. Pain: Some discomfort or pain at the biopsy site is normal, but severe pain should be reported to a healthcare provider. False-Negative Results: Sometimes the biopsy may not capture abnormal cells, leading to a false-negative diagnosis.
