An abnormal Pap smear result often creates unnecessary fear. At Dr. Minu Pandey in Matunga, colposcopy is performed as a focused diagnostic procedure to examine cervical tissue under magnification. It is recommended when cervical screening shows abnormal cells or when persistent HPV infection requires further evaluation.
During the procedure, a special solution is applied to highlight suspicious areas on the cervix. If needed, a small biopsy is taken for laboratory analysis. Colposcopy is typically performed in an outpatient setting and does not require hospital admission. Mild discomfort may occur, but it is brief and manageable. The aim is early detection of precancerous changes so that treatment can be initiated before progression.
Cervical health depends on timely screening and appropriate follow up. If you have been advised to undergo colposcopy after a Pap smear result, consult Dr. Minu Pandey for careful evaluation and clear explanation of findings and next steps.
