Our Australian-registered doctors provide online consultations to guide you on colposcopy assessments and results.
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.
Most women recover without issues, but some signs of infection may include:
Convenience: Get expert advice from home.
Quick Access: No long waiting times for appointments.
Professional Guidance: Our doctors assess symptoms, medical history, and test results.
Instant Prescriptions: If needed, get prescriptions for further care.
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.

Not always. If HPV is found during a routine test, your doctor may monitor you with regular Pap smears. A colposcopy is only needed if abnormal cells are detected.
The procedure is usually not painful, but you may feel slight discomfort, similar to a Pap smear. If a biopsy is taken, you might experience mild cramping.
Most women can resume normal activities immediately. If a biopsy is performed, light spotting or mild cramping may last a few days.
If you had a biopsy, avoid tampons, douching, and sexual intercourse for at least a week to allow healing.
You can book an online consultation anytime. Our doctors are available across Australia to provide expert guidance on colposcopy assessments, results, and next steps.
