Colposcopy

Colposcopy

Colposcopy is a procedure to take a closer look at your cervix, vagina and vulva. It is commonly performed if your cervical smear / Pap smear / HPV result is abnormal.

During the procedure, a colposcope, which is a magnifying instrument, is used to observe the tissues more closely. If necessary, a biopsy may be performed to remove a small sample of tissue for further analysis. Sometimes a larger excision (LLETZ) may be performed at the same setting to remove the abnormal area.

Colposcopy is a valuable tool in diagnosing and treating cervical abnormalities, allowing for early detection and prevention of cervical cancer.
