Colposcopy is a procedure performed to examine and identify any abnormal cells which could indicate cervical cancer. When abnormal results or suspicious symptoms are found from Pap smear or HPV test, the doctor at our affiliated hospital may recommend Colposcopy to carefully assess the cervix, vagina, and vulva under magnification. This allows for a clearer view than what can be achieved through routine screening alone.

The use of a colposcope gives the doctor a magnified image of the reproductive system, making it easier to detect even very small changes that could indicate precancerous or cancerous conditions. This approach allows for early and accurate identification of any areas that require treatment or closer monitoring.

The detailed evaluation offered by Colposcopy minimizes uncertainty, giving a clearer understanding of cervical health. For many patients, Cervical Cancer Screening Package along with Colposcopy becomes a proactive measure that helps safeguard long-term health and well-being.

Colposcopy works by using a colposcope, which functions as a magnifying instrument with a light, to examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva in greater detail. The examination usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes. During this process, the doctor at our affiliated hospital may apply a mild solution to the cervix to highlight abnormal tissue. If necessary, a biopsy is performed, with only a brief moment of cramping or discomfort reported by some patients.

Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure, though if a biopsy is performed, light spotting or mild cramping may occur for 1 to 2 days. In such cases, the doctor usually advises avoiding intercourse, tampon use, or vaginal medications for at least 1 week. Overall, downtime is minimal, while the reassurance and long-term health benefits are significant.
