Service Providers for Colposcopy
A Colposcopy is a procedure used to examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for abnormal cells, often after an abnormal Pap smear. The procedure involves using a colposcope, a magnifying instrument, to closely inspect the area. Preparation includes avoiding sexual intercourse, douching, or using tampons for 24–48 hours before the test. Risks are minimal but may include mild discomfort, spotting, or bleeding. During the test, you may feel pressure or a mild pinch. Afterward, light bleeding or discharge is common. Results help detect infections, abnormal cells, or early signs of cervical cancer. Conditions like active infections or pregnancy may affect the procedure.
