What is Colposcopy?
Colposcopy is a specialized diagnostic procedure used to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for abnormal or precancerous changes. It is usually recommended after an abnormal Pap smear or positive HPV test.

Why is Colposcopy Done?
Dr. Richi Khandelwal recommends colposcopy for:
- Abnormal Pap smear results
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus) infection

- Unexplained bleeding after intercourse
- Suspicious cervical lesions
- Follow-up of previously treated cervical abnormalities
Early detection plays a critical role in preventing cervical cancer.
How the Procedure is Performed
- The procedure is done in the OPD setting.
- A special magnifying device called a colposcope is used.
- A mild solution is applied to highlight abnormal cells.
- If required, a small biopsy may be taken for further evaluation.
The procedure is generally painless and takes about 10–20 minutes.
