Colposcopy

Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of abnormal tissue.
It involves using a special magnifying instrument called a colposcope to get a closer look at these areas.

Why is it done?

•     Abnormal Pap test: If your Pap smear shows abnormal cells, a colposcopy can help determine the cause.
•     Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection: A positive HPV test might lead to a colposcopy to check for any associated changes.
•     Visible abnormalities: If your doctor notices any unusual changes during a pelvic exam, a colposcopy can be used to investigate further.
