Been Referred for Colposcopy?

A colposcopy is a simple procedure that allows the doctor or nurse to examine your cervix more closely and to find any abnormal cervical cells that may be present.

Having a colposcopy is very similar to having a cervical smear except that a special microscope, called a colposcope, is used for the examination. This will not be any more uncomfortable than having a cervical smear as the colposcope stays outside the vagina.
