Colposcopy
Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows for a detailed examination of the cervix, vagina, and vulva tissues. It is typically performed in cases of abnormal Pap smear results, suspected HPV infection, or the detection of cellular changes in the cervix.
Why Is Colposcopy Performed?
- Detection of abnormalities in a Pap smear test
- Suspicion of HPV infection
- Investigation of warts, lesions, or cellular changes on the cervix
- Chronic infection or recurrent vaginal bleeding complaints
How Is Colposcopy Performed?
Colposcopy is performed in the gynecological examination position and takes approximately 10–15 minutes. The cervix is opened with the help of a speculum, and examined using a special magnifying device called a colposcope. Special solutions are applied to suspicious tissues to make cellular changes more visible. If necessary, a biopsy is taken for laboratory analysis.
Post-Procedure Process
Colposcopy is generally a painless procedure; however, if a biopsy is taken, mild cramping and spotting may occur. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and sexual intercourse for a few days after the procedure.
