Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy: All You Need To Know

What is Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy?

Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy is a screening test conducted by a doctor involving a proper examination of the cervix, the vagina, and the vulva using a surgical instrument known as the colposcope.

When is Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy recommended?

This Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy is recommended by a doctor when there are abnormal Pap smear results and when a person experiences bleeding while having intercourse. If a person has an abnormal growth on the cervix or the vulva and the vagina, Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy tests are generally recommended.

Preparing for Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy

A person preparing for undergoing Colposcopy needs to give all necessary and relevant details to the doctor. Also, a patient can schedule the test according to their menstrual cycle. Light bleeding during the beginning or the end of your period is usually fine, but one should check with the doctor and make sure they are ready for the test.

Understanding Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy results
Ask the doctor about the test results. If your doctor tells you that your Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy results are positive, you might need the information promptly so that you can get treated on time.
