  • During a colposcopy a speculum is inserted into your vagina.

  • The doctor will put a liquid on your cervix to help them see any abnormal cervical cells

  • A microscope is then used to look at your cervix in greater detail.

  • A biopsy may be taken from your cervix for testing. It is possible for abnormal cells to be treated during a colposcopy.


It usually takes less than half an hour and you can go home the same day.
