Gynecologist Performing Colposcopy in Barranquilla

A colposcopy is a gynecological procedure that allows the doctor to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva using a specialized instrument called a colposcope. It is a safe, quick, and generally painless examination that helps detect abnormal changes before they become more serious.

What is a colposcopy?

A colposcopy is recommended when a gynecologist needs a more detailed evaluation of the cervix, especially after an abnormal Pap smear or a positive HPV test. During the procedure, the specialist can identify abnormal tissue and, if necessary, perform a biopsy for an accurate diagnosis.

What can a colposcopy detect?

• Changes caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
• Precancerous cervical lesions.
• Early-stage cervical cancer.
• Cervical polyps.
• Inflammation or infections of the cervix.
• Abnormalities of the vagina or vulva.

When should I have a colposcopy?

• If your Pap smear results are abnormal.
• If you have tested positive for HPV.
• If you experience bleeding after sexual intercourse.
• If your gynecologist notices changes in your cervix during a pelvic exam.
• For follow-up of previously diagnosed cervical lesions.
