If you OB/GYN receives an abnormal Pap test (which is quite common – about 10 percent of Pap tests show abnormal cells), he or she will recommend that you have a colposcopy. A Pap test is a screening tool that tells your doctor whether there are any cell changes happening on your cervix. A colposcopy is a more thorough diagnostic procedure that allows your gynecologist to examine your cervix for any abnormal cells or blood vessels using a microscope known as a colposcope. It will also allow him or her to see if there are any changes in your vagina, cervix or uterus. A colposcopy may also help your doctor determine if you need to have a test for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

There are no colposcopy side effects except for an occasional discharge after a colposcopy procedure and some bleeding after a colposcopy biopsy.

Most abnormal Pap smear results are caused by viral infections — such as the human papillomavirus or HPV. Sometimes abnormal results are due to natural changes that happen during menopause. On rare occasions, an inflamed cervix or symptoms such as pain or abnormal bleeding point to a more serious condition, including cancer. In these cases, a tissue sample taken at the same time, a colposcopy biopsy, can confirm the suspected condition.

If your gynecologist in Queens, NYC finds genital warts, inflamed tissue, non-cancerous growths, or polyps in your uterus or on your cervix, he or she can diagnose and treat them right away, during or after your colposcopy. HPV stands for human papillomavirus. It’s the most common sexually transmitted infection. HPV is usually harmless and goes away by itself, but some types can lead to cancer or genital warts. If your results show HPV, a colposcopy procedure can rule out more serious health conditions associated with it.

Preparation for Your Colposcopy

A colposcopy is usually performed by your gynecologist right in Forest Hills, Queens office. Here is how you should prepare for your visit:

• Try to schedule your colposcopy when you are not menstruating.
• Take an over-the counter pain reliever recommended by your doctor 30 to 60 minutes before the procedure if you are worried about mild cramping.
• Do not insert anything into your vagina for a full 24 hours before the procedure — including vaginal creams, douches or tampons.
• Do not have sex within 24 hours of your procedure — that includes sex after colposcopy procedures.
• Do not take aspirin before the colposcopy procedure without your doctor’s knowledge, as it can increase the chances of bleeding. Your doctor will ask you to discontinue any prescription blood thinners a few days before the procedure.
• Discuss the possibility that you are pregnant with your gynecologist. He can probably do the colposcopy without injury to you or your fetus, but he may decide not to do a biopsy.
Tell your doctor about any medications you are taking or any allergies to medications.
• Discuss any bleeding problems you have had in the past.
• Tell your gynecologist in Queens, NYC if you have been recently treated for a vaginal, cervical or pelvic infection.
