Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure used to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for abnormal changes. Dr. Chandan Dubey performs colposcopy when Pap smear or HPV test results are abnormal. The procedure uses a special magnifying instrument called a colposcope. It provides a detailed view of cervical tissues to identify abnormal areas accurately. Colposcopy helps in early detection of precancerous lesions and cervical cancer. The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and usually takes about 10–20 minutes. Mild discomfort or cramping may be felt during the process. If suspicious areas are found, a biopsy may be taken for further analysis. Results help determine the need for treatment or follow-up. Colposcopy is a safe and essential procedure for women’s health. Patients are provided with clear instructions before and after the procedure. Regular follow-up ensures effective monitoring. Early diagnosis through colposcopy improves treatment success rates. It is an important step in preventive gynaecology.
