When is Colposcopy Recommended?
Your doctor may suggest a colposcopy if you have:
-
Abnormal Pap smear results
-
Unexplained vaginal bleeding
-
Visible lesions or growths on the cervix
-
Positive HPV test results
-
Chronic pelvic pain or persistent discharge
How is the Procedure Done?
-
Preparation – You will be positioned similarly to a pelvic exam.
-
Examination – The doctor uses a speculum to gently open the vagina.
-
Magnified Inspection – The colposcope is placed outside the body to magnify and illuminate the cervix.
-
Application of Special Solutions – Vinegar or iodine solution may be applied to highlight abnormal cells.
-
Biopsy (if needed) – A small tissue sample may be taken for further lab analysis.
The procedure is generally safe, quick, and causes minimal discomfort.

NariHealth Women’s Health Consulting provides the following women’s health services:
The evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding is a comprehensive process that begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination. Healthcare providers inquire about menstrual patterns, recent changes, and any relevant medical conditions. Pelvic examinations are conducted to assess the reproductive organs, while diagnostic tests such as transvaginal ultrasounds, blood tests, Pap smears, and endometrial biopsies may be employed to pinpoint the underlying cause. Additional procedures like hysteroscopy or advanced imaging scans can offer further insights. Patients are often encouraged to maintain menstrual diaries and discuss accompanying symptoms. Lifestyle factors, including stress, weight changes, and exercise routines, are also considered. By systematically evaluating these factors, healthcare providers can diagnose the source of abnormal bleeding, enabling the development of tailored treatment plans aimed at addressing the root cause and ensuring the patient’s gynecological health and well-being.

What is a Colposcopy?
A colposcopy is a medical procedure used to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease. It is performed using a colposcope—a special magnifying device that allows your doctor to detect abnormal areas that may not be visible to the naked eye. This procedure is often recommended if your Pap smear results are abnormal or if there are visible changes in your cervix.
