Your 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.

1 Review your results Your clinician reviews your cervical screening or HPV history, previous results and the reason for your appointment.
2 Examine the cervix A speculum is inserted and a colposcope is used to examine the cervix under magnification. The colposcope remains outside the body.
3 Assess any changes Special solutions may be applied to help identify areas that require closer examination.
4 Biopsy if needed If an area requires further assessment, a small tissue sample may be taken and sent for laboratory examination.
5 Discuss next steps Your clinician explains the findings available at the appointment and how results or follow-up will be managed.
Biopsy & results

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.

A small cervical tissue sample is taken.
The sample is sent to the laboratory for histology.
Light bleeding or discharge can occur afterwards.
Your result helps determine whether further follow-up is needed.

Common questions

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.
