تعريف

The cervix is the lower, narrow part of the uterus (womb). A special magnifying device with a light, called a colposcope, can be used to visually examine the cervix and vagina.

أسباب هذا الإجراء

Colposcopy is usually done when a:

  • Pap test is abnormal
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) test is positive for certain subtypes (These subtypes place you at an increased risk for developing cancer.)

This procedure can be used to:

  • Help diagnose cervical cancer or precancerous changes
  • Give more information about abnormal cells found on a pap smear
  • Find the location where a tissue biopsy should be done
  • Monitor treatment of abnormalities of the cervix
  • Allow a visual exam of the cervix, vaginal walls, or vulva

المضاعفات المحتملة

Complications are rare. But, no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have colposcopy, your سيقوم الطبيب بمراجعة القائمة من المضاعفات المحتملة. قد تشمل هذه:

  • نزيف
  • العدوى
  • عدم ارتياح

ما يمكن توقعه

قبل الإجراء

In the 24 hours before the procedure, your doctor may advise you to avoid:

  • Having sexual intercourse
  • Using medicine or creams in your vagina

التخدير

Usually no anesthesia is needed. In certain cases, the cervix may be numbed with a local anesthetic.

وصف الإجراء

You will lie on your back with your feet in foot rests. A device called a speculum will be inserted into your vagina. The speculum will gently spread apart the vaginal walls. The inside of the vagina and the cervix will be easier to see. The colposcope will be placed at the opening of the vagina. Then, the cervix will be wiped with a solution. The solution will make abnormal areas easier to see. The cervix and vagina will be examined closely with the colposcope. A long tool may be used to take a sample of tissue from the cervix or vaginal wall.
