Colposcopy helps detect inflammatory or preinvasive changes in the lower genital tract (cervix, vagina, vulva, perineum, perianal). It magnifies the view to spot cellular changes.

How is colposcopy done?

With the patient in gynecologic position, a speculum is placed and the cervix observed using a colposcope to magnify and identify abnormal regions.

The goal is to detect cellular changes and premalignant or malignant lesions in the cervix, vagina, vulva, and perianal area.

Why should this test be done?

Recommended as a complement to Pap smears and essential when Pap results are abnormal.

It’s harmless and advisable for all women who are sexually active.
