About Colposcopy
Colposcopy is a visual exam of your cervix that your physician will
likely perform if you receive an abnormal result from a pap smear.
Abnormal results might include the presence of HPV (human papillomavirus),
cervical dysplasia (precancerous abnormal cells), cervical cancer,
or squamous cells. A pap smear is not enough to diagnose the abnormal cells;
it is just a screening to detect them. Therefore, more testing is required to
check for or rule out HPV, precancerous lesions, or cancer.
The colposcopy is usually the first follow-up exam your physician will perform.
Potential reasons for a colposcopy include:
Viewing the cervix to determine the cause of abnormal Pap tests.
If abnormal tissue is found, a biopsy for this tissue is often ordered.
Check for sores, warts or other issues found around the vagina or cervix.
Follow up for abnormalities detected in a previous colposcopy,
or to see if a previous treatment has been successful.
If an HPV test shows a high-risk form of HPV is present,
colposcopy can be used to check the cervix for problem areas.
Colposcopies can help diagnose several important diseases or conditions:
Cancer: Cervical cancer, vaginal cancer and vulvar cancer can all be detected by this test
Cervicitis: This is a condition involving inflammation of the cervix
Precancerous changes: These can occur in cervical or vaginal tissue, or in the vulva.
