Colposcopy is a test conducted to check for cervical cancer. Doctors make use of a device called a colposcope to get a clear view of your cervix. Equipped with binoculars, the device plays a crucial role in detecting abnormal cells in the cervix. Doctors usually recommend this procedure when abnormalities are noticed in previous pelvic exams and pap tests. During a colposcopy, you would be required to get a biopsy if the doctor sees something unusual. You won't encounter any pain during this test; however, you might feel a little pressure in your cervix when the speculum is inserted inside it. The biopsy, if required, can be a little painful. You may notice spotting and blood in your urine. Like any other procedure, Colposcopy also risks complications like bleeding and infection. This procedure can not be conducted during periods, and it is advised not to partake in intercourse two days before the test.
