Colposcopy

What Is a Colposcopy?


A colposcopy is a medical test that helps doctors examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for abnormal cells. It is often recommended after an irregular Pap smear. The procedure uses a colposcope, a magnifying device, to check for changes in the cervical tissue. If needed, the doctor may take a small tissue sample (biopsy) for further testing.

Signs of Infection After a Colposcopy


Most women recover without issues, but some signs of infection may include:

    • Unusual or heavy vaginal discharge with a strong smell.
    • Fever or chills.
    • Severe abdominal pain.
    • Heavy bleeding (more than a normal period).

  • If you notice these symptoms, seek medical help immediately.

What Happens During the Colposcopy Procedure?

During the colposcopy procedure, you lie on an examination table, similar to a Pap smear. The doctor inserts a speculum to view the cervix and applies a mild solution to highlight abnormal cells. The colposcope remains outside the body to examine the cervix. If needed, a biopsy is taken for lab testing.
