Colposcopy Surgery in Detail

Colposcopy at Sur is more than just a procedure; it’s a pathway to peace of mind. It involves using a colposcope to magnify and inspect the cervical area, especially following an abnormal Pap smear. This detailed assessment helps us to guide your care effectively, whether it’s addressing HPV-related changes, cervical cancer risks, or other concerns.

If you’re concerned about the health of your cervix, vagina or vulva, having a colposcopy could offer the following benefits:

  • Early detection and intervention for cervical abnormalities
  • Accurate diagnosis with enhanced visual examination
  • Potential for on-the-spot biopsies for comprehensive analysis
  • Monitoring treatment effectiveness and recurrence
  • A gentle, outpatient procedure for your convenience
  • An additional safeguard for those at increased cervical cancer risk

While colposcopy is safe, it involves its own risks and potential side effects, including:

  • Temporary discomfort or mild pain during the procedure
  • Minimal bleeding post-biopsy
  • Slight infection risk, especially after tissue sampling
  • Rare cases of cervical scarring impacting menstrual flow or fertility

Experience comfort and precision with Sur’s colposcopy. A speculum is used for gentle access, and the colposcope provides an in-depth view without entering your body. If needed, biopsies are performed with utmost care for accurate diagnosis.

If your Pap smear indicates abnormal cells or visible changes in the cervix, vagina, or vulva, colposcopy at Sur could be your next step. We’ll discuss the benefits and potential outcomes with you comprehensively.

Post-colposcopy, you can expect a swift return to daily life, with just a day or two of rest. Mild discomfort (similar to menstrual pains) and spotting are normal, and we’ll guide you on managing these symptoms effectively.

You should be able to resume your normal routine with minimal interruption, and you can support your recovery by maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated.
