Frequently Asked Questions
Confused About Anything?
What is a colposcopy?
A colposcopy is a diagnostic test used to closely examine the cervix (the lower part of the uterus), vagina, and vulva for any signs of abnormal cells or cancer. It is often recommended following an unusual Pap test or a positive HPV test to gather more detailed information.
Why might I need a colposcopy?
Your doctor may suggest a colposcopy if you have:
- Abnormal Pap test results
- A positive HPV test
- Unusual symptoms, such as irregular bleeding
These indicators help in assessing whether further investigation or early treatment is necessary.
Is colposcopy considered surgery?
No, colposcopy itself is not a surgical procedure. However, if any concerning areas are identified, your doctor may take small tissue samples (biopsies) during the exam. These biopsies are minor procedures and do not require hospital admission.
How should I prepare for a colposcopy?
To ensure the most accurate results, please keep the following in mind before your appointment:
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant.
- Try to schedule your colposcopy when you’re not on your period.
- Avoid having sex, using tampons, or applying vaginal medications for 48 hours before the test.
- You may take pain relievers such as paracetamol, mefenamic acid, or ibuprofen beforehand to stay comfortable during the procedure.
