Colposcopy Clinic

Colposcopy

Colposcopy is a simple procedure used to look at the cervix, the lower part of the womb at the top of the vagina. It can confirm whether cells in your cervix are abnormal and determine whether you need treatment to remove them. These abnormal cells can go away on their own, but sometimes there's a risk they could eventually turn into cervical cancer if left untreated.
