At Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai we strive towards cancer prevention and prioritize women’s healthcare services. Colposcopy is a specialized diagnostic procedure used to examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for abnormalities, particularly following an abnormal Pap smear or detection of HPV virus. As part of gynaecological preventive health, this procedure plays a crucial role in the early detection and management of pre-cancerous conditions, ensuring timely intervention.
Colposcopy involves using a colposcope, a magnifying instrument with a light, to provide a detailed view of the cervical and vaginal tissues. This allows doctors to identify abnormal cells or lesions that may not be visible during a routine examination. The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting and is quick, painless, and minimally invasive. By providing early and accurate diagnosis, colposcopy helps determine the need for further treatment, such as a biopsy or removal of abnormal tissue. With its precision and effectiveness, colposcopy remains an essential tool in preventing cervical cancer and safeguarding women’s health.
