Private Colposcopy Clinic in Dublin
Private specialist assessment of the cervix following selected abnormal cervical screening or HPV results, previous cervical abnormalities, or other concerns requiring closer examination.
Why might I need a colposcopy?
Colposcopy allows the cervix to be examined more closely than during a routine cervical screening appointment.
What happens during a colposcopy?
The examination is similar in some ways to cervical screening, but allows the cervix to be viewed under magnification.
If a biopsy is required
A biopsy is not required at every colposcopy. It is taken when laboratory examination of a cervical area is clinically appropriate.
Clear private pricing

Colposcopy FAQ
What is a colposcopy?
A colposcopy is a close examination of the cervix using a magnifying instrument called a colposcope. The colposcope remains outside the body.
Is a colposcopy the same as a smear test?
No. Cervical screening involves taking a sample from the cervix. Colposcopy is a closer visual examination and may include a biopsy when clinically required.
Does needing a colposcopy mean I have cervical cancer?
No. Colposcopy is commonly used to investigate abnormal cervical screening findings and cervical cell changes. An abnormal result does not automatically mean cervical cancer.
Is a biopsy always required?
No. A biopsy is taken only when an area requires laboratory assessment.
Can I book private colposcopy directly?
Yes. If you are unsure whether private colposcopy is the correct appointment for your result, call CareBridge Medical before booking.
What should I bring?
Bring any relevant cervical screening, HPV, cytology, biopsy or previous colposcopy reports available to you, particularly if they were performed outside CareBridge Medical.
