A colposcopy is a medical procedure used to examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease. During the procedure, a special tool called a colposcope, which has a light and magnifying lens, is inserted into the vagina to provide a detailed view of these areas. The colposcope does not enter the body but stays outside, while the doctor looks through it to identify any abnormal areas. This test is often used to check abnormal Pap smear results or symptoms like unusual bleeding or discharge. It helps in diagnosing conditions like cervical dysplasia or cancer, and may involve taking small tissue samples for further testing.
