A colposcopy is a simple procedure that allows the doctor to examine the cervix properly. The exam takes around 5 to 10 minutes, and the process can help determine whether or not there are any abnormal cells present. A doctor uses a specialised instrument called a colposcope to perform this procedure. A colposcope offers enough light and magnification for a doctor to inspect the cervix more effectively.

How is Colposcopy Done?
- The doctor uses a speculum to keep the vaginal walls apart during the examination. As the doctor inserts this gadget, the patient may feel a little pressure.
- The colposcope will be placed at the vaginal entrance by the doctor.
- To make it easier to examine the cervix, the doctor will swab the cervix and vagina with a cotton swab and solution.
- If abnormal tissue is found, the doctor may perform a biopsy to remove a tissue sample.
- To stop bleeding from a scab, a doctor may cauterise the area of a biopsy with a solution.
