Colposcopy
Elective Surgery
Colposcopy is a detailed examination of the cervix (neck of the womb). A colposcope is like a large magnifying glass, which allows the doctor to look more closely at cell changes on the cervix. The colposcope does not touch the body, or go inside it. As with a cervical screening test, the doctor gently inserts a speculum into the vagina, so that the cervix can be seen through the colposcope.
