Usually, bleeding after a fiberoptic bronchoscopy lasts for a few days.

Patient's question:

Currently, I haven't heard from the pathology department. They just said they can't do it now and won't be able to perform the bronchoscopy until next Monday. So, I have to come back. I heard it might still bleed. I would like to ask how long it usually takes for bleeding after a bronchoscopy?

Doctor's answer:

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy has the advantage of detecting lung lesions and performing pathological sampling, which can treat some diseases. Usually, a report can be issued after the examination, but pathological examination results take seven days. It is recommended that you follow the doctor's advice for examination, confirm the diagnosis, and formulate a treatment plan based on your specific condition. Pay attention to keeping warm to prevent colds, quit smoking, and avoid dust and other irritants to the respiratory tract. Wish you good health! Thank you!
