DESCRIPTION
|
|
During a colposcopy (kol-POS-kuh-pea), your doctor uses an instrument called a colposcope (KOL-po-scope) to examine your cervix and vagina. The colposcope magnifies the area to give the doctor a detailed view. The test is usually done when your Pap smear shows some possible problems. The doctor may take a small piece of tissue (biopsy) from your cervix or vagina to be tested.
