Colposcopy

Understanding Colposcopy

Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows our gynaecologists to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva using a specialized instrument called a colposcope. The colposcope stays outside the vagina and uses magnification and bright light to detect abnormal tissue changes that may not be visible during a routine pelvic exam.

During the procedure, a special vinegar-like solution may be applied to highlight suspicious cells. If abnormal areas are identified, a small biopsy sample may be taken for laboratory evaluation.

Benefits of Colposcopy

Here are the key benefits:

• Early detection of abnormal or precancerous cervical cells.
• Helps diagnose HPV-related cervical changes.
• Supports timely treatment and prevention of cervical cancer.
• Allows accurate evaluation after abnormal Pap smear results.
• Detects cervical inflammation, genital warts, or abnormal tissue growths.
• Safe, minimally invasive outpatient procedure.
• Quick recovery with minimal downtime.
