Your specialist may recommend a colposcopy if your pap smear result is abnormal. A colposcopy is a procedure used to closely examine the cervix or vagina with a microscope for signs of disease. A sample of tissue is usually collected for testing (a biopsy) if any areas appear suspicious. The procedure is usually conducted in your specialist’s room and takes about 10-20 minutes. If you require a biopsy you may experience some spotting or light bleeding for the next day or two.
A hysteroscopy is a procedure where the inside of the uterus is examined through a thin telescope inserted through the cervix without any cutting. It may be used to diagnose and treat conditions of the uterine cavity including uterine bleeding, scar tissue in the uterus and fibroids or polyps. It is usually performed under a light or general anaesthetic. You may experience period like cramping following the procedure.
