Colposcopy Exam

Service Description

Colposcopy at Hazba Medical Center in Falmouth, Trelawny A colposcopy is a detailed examination of the cervix, vagina, and vulva used to investigate an abnormal Pap smear result, unusual bleeding, or other cervical health concerns. At Hazba Medical Center, this procedure is performed in a private, comfortable setting by an experienced provider using a colposcope a specialized magnifying instrument that allows close visual inspection of cervical tissue. Why you may need a colposcopy: - Abnormal Pap smear or HPV test result - Follow-up after cervical dysplasia treatment - Unexplained vaginal bleeding or spotting - Visible abnormalities found during a pelvic exam - Routine surveillance after a prior abnormal biopsy What to expect: Your provider will use a speculum to visualize the cervix, then apply a mild vinegar or iodine solution to highlight abnormal areas. If necessary, a small tissue sample (biopsy) may be taken for lab analysis — this may cause brief cramping but is generally well tolerated. The full visit typically takes 15–30 minutes, and most patients return to normal activity the same day. How to prepare: - Schedule outside your menstrual period if possible - Avoid intercourse, tampons, and vaginal creams for 24 hours before - Take a mild pain reliever beforehand if advised by your provider - Bring your most recent Pap smear or referral results, if available Your privacy and comfort matter to us. Results and next steps are explained clearly, and any follow-up care — including treatment for abnormal findings — is coordinated directly through Hazba Medical Center.
