Colposcopy is a gynecological procedure that allows specialists to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva. If you are seeking information regarding a colposcopy, its relationship to HPV-positive diagnoses, or details about colposcopy with biopsy, you have come to the right place.
A colposcopy is an examination that uses a colposcope, an instrument with magnifying lenses and light, to visually examine the genital area and detect abnormalities. If you have received an abnormal Pap smear result or have a positive HPV diagnosis, your doctor may recommend a colposcopy to investigate further.
During a colposcopy, if suspicious areas are detected, a colposcopic biopsy may be performed. This procedure involves taking small tissue samples for analysis in search of precancerous or cancerous cells. Colposcopy with biopsy is essential for establishing an accurate diagnosis.
Colposcopy during pregnancy should be handled with special care. While generally safe, your doctor will carefully evaluate whether it is necessary and how to perform it without risk to you or your baby.
