*OP's own title*

I had my colposcopy two days ago and I have noticed an increasing amount of this thick chocolate milk-colored discharge. It doesn't smell foul as though there is an infection, but it definitely smells strong. Like, I'm not a woman who smells very strong down there, but this discharge smells like some intense vagina, lol. Just wondering if this is normal and how long it takes to go away.

Thank you for your responses. I did end up going to the doctor and it turns out I have a bacterial infection, so it was a good thing I got a little worried. But I'm taking antibiotics now and it should be gone in a week. Thanks again guys!

Go back to the doctor and get checked. It may be nothing, but it may be something and it's much safer to get yourself checked.

Yes - Its perfectly normal. A couple days later I had a 'scab - like' thing discharge. Remember, the gynae cut a little piece of your skin away and so there is a small wound inside you. Its normal and should go away soon. If it doesnt then go back, just give it some time.

Call the OB/GYN who performed the colposcopy. We didn't perform the procedure on you.

A beautiful, young relative died from cervical cancer. She was young and had just established a practice as an ophthalmologist. She had extra health insurance of a million dollars but it got her anyway even with all the treatments all because she didn't know about it until it was far gone.
