Colpopexy is surgical repair of the vagina. Colposcopy is visualization of the cervix and vagina.
Colposcopy is used to identify or rule out the existence of any precancerous conditions in the cervical tissue. If a Pap test shows abnormal cell growth, colposcopy is usually the first follow-up test performed.
About one in 10 women experience bleeding from the vagina about two weeks after the biopsy. There is also a slight risk of infection or perforation of the uterus. In a few women, the cervical canal becomes narrowed or completely blocked.
That is not possible to occur.
This is a procedure that can be done in the doctor's office
A colposcopy is not a normal test after a single finding of inflammation on a pap smear. Repeated results with inflammation may require colposcopy, as well as many other combinations of findings. Talk with your health care provider for information about your results.
Women who are pregnant, or who suspect that they are pregnant, must tell their doctor before the procedure begins. Pregnant women can, and should, have a colposcopy if they have an abnormal Pap test.
