How long until I can have sex after a vulvar biopsy?

---

I had to have a vulvar biopsy on Tuesday to check for Lichen sclerosus. My doctor said that I could exercise and have sex whenever I felt up to it. The biopsy was taken from the outer portion of the lower inner labia. I am wondering if anybody has had this done and how long it was until you could have sex again? Thanks.
