What is colposcopy?
Colposcopy is a medical procedure that allows a detailed examination of the cervix, vagina, and vulva. It is used when a Pap test shows abnormal cells or in cases of symptoms such as unusual vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, or discomfort during sexual intercourse. The procedure is performed using a colposcope, a microscope with light that magnifies images on a screen.
Colposcopy is usually performed in a gynecologist's office. The patient lies on a gynecological chair, and the doctor uses a speculum to open the vagina for better access to the cervix. The colposcope is placed close to the vagina, and the doctor may use solutions like acetic acid or iodine to better observe abnormal tissue.
This procedure is recommended when a Pap test shows abnormal cells, when there are symptoms indicating a potential HPV infection, or when the patient experiences unusual bleeding or pain suggesting problems with the cervix. Colposcopy usually lasts 10 to 20 minutes and is not painful, though it may cause mild discomfort due to the insertion of the speculum. If samples (biopsy) are taken, there may be short-term discomfort.
Results can be normal, in which case no further intervention is needed, or abnormal, in which case the doctor may recommend further tests or a biopsy. Colposcopy is important for the timely detection of changes that may lead to cervical cancer and allows for prompt treatment.

Symptoms
Symptoms of gynecological problems can range from mild to severe and are often the first sign that something is wrong with reproductive health. Many women ignore these symptoms, but it is important to pay attention to changes in bodily functions in order to detect potential problems in time. If any of the symptoms appear, it is recommended to consult with a gynecologist to determine the cause and, if necessary, begin appropriate treatment.
Symptoms that may indicate gynecological problems include:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding: Includes bleeding between periods, during or after sexual intercourse, or postmenopausal bleeding.
- Abdominal or pelvic pain: Unexplained pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis may indicate cysts, fibroids, or other gynecological issues.
- Irregularities in the menstrual cycle: Irregular, extremely heavy, or light periods may indicate hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other disorders.
- Painful intercourse: Pain during or after sexual intercourse may be a sign of infections, inflammations, or other reproductive organ problems.
- Discomfort or burning during urination: This symptom may indicate a urinary tract infection or vaginal infection (e.g., yeast infection, bacterial infections).
- Unusual vaginal discharge: Changes in color, odor, or texture of vaginal discharge may indicate infection or other issues.
- Fertility problems: Difficulty conceiving or recurrent miscarriages may be a sign of issues with the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus.
- Lower back discomfort: Pain in the lower back may be associated with gynecological problems, such as fibroids or endometriosis.
Recognizing these symptoms can help in the early detection of problems and allow for timely treatment.

FAQ
A colposcopy is usually recommended if there is an increased risk for cervical cancer or if previous examinations (such as a Pap test) have shown abnormalities. It is also recommended for women with symptoms that may indicate problems with the cervix.
A colposcopy is usually recommended if there is an increased risk for cervical cancer or if previous examinations (such as a Pap test) have shown abnormalities. It is also recommended for women with symptoms that may indicate problems with the cervix.
Before the colposcopy, it is recommended that you do not have vaginal bleeding, so it is best to perform the procedure after the end of your period. Also, it is recommended not to use a tampon or vaginal preparations for a few days before the examination.
Yes, colposcopy is completely safe and is considered a non-invasive procedure. The risk of complications is minimal, and any discomfort is usually temporary.
Colposcopy is performed in a gynecological office. The doctor uses a speculum to open the vagina, and places the colposcope a few centimeters from the cervix so that he can examine it. In some cases, solutions are used to help detect abnormal cells.
The doctor will be able to see the images provided by the colposcope immediately, but if a biopsy is needed, the results will be available after a few days or weeks, depending on the laboratory analysis.
Colposcopy usually lasts from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the complexity of the examination.
Colposcopy can help detect abnormal changes in the cervix that may indicate precancerous lesions or cancer, but further analysis of a tissue sample (biopsy) is required to confirm the diagnosis.
After colposcopy, there is usually no need for recovery. You can return to your normal activities immediately, although you may notice a slight vaginal discharge or minor bleeding which is normal and passes within a few days.
A colposcopy is usually recommended if Pap test results are abnormal, if there is unusual vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, or if HPV infection or other gynecological problems are suspected.
The risk of infection is minimal, but if a biopsy has been taken, it is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse and the use of tampons for several days after the procedure.
No, after the colposcopy you can get up immediately and continue with your daily activities. If a biopsy was taken, you may feel slight discomfort for a few hours.
A colposcopy is usually recommended if a Pap test shows abnormalities or if there are symptoms such as unusual vaginal bleeding. If you have no symptoms, it is usually not needed.
The diagnosis is made based on a visual examination of the cervix. If the doctor notices abnormal lesions, tissue samples may be taken for biopsy to confirm the changes.
Colposcopy can help diagnose precancerous lesions, HPV infection, cervical dysplasia, polyps, as well as early stages of cervical cancer.
Colposcopy is a more detailed method for monitoring abnormalities detected by the Pap test. While a Pap test can detect changes on the cervix, a colposcopy allows the doctor to see those changes magnified and more precisely.

Nose surgery
Before the nose surgery, I had problems with a deviated septum, which made it difficult for me to breathe and affected my quality of life. After the procedure with exceptional experts in the field of aesthetic plastic surgery, I can finally say that I can breathe fully! In addition to solving my health problem, the professional team worked hard to make the aesthetic result perfect. My nose looks natural and beautiful, which was an added bonus to the health I have gained. During the entire process, from the initial consultation to post-operative care, I was in the hands of attentive, professional and caring doctors. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of the team, my recovery went smoothly, with constant support and clear instructions about what lay ahead. Thanks again for the top result and professionalism! I highly recommend it to anyone considering this type of procedure.
