Gynaecology, Colposcopy & Preventive Oncology Care

Cervical screening and colposcopy

Cervical screening tests such as the Pap smear help detect changes in the cervix before they become serious. If a screening test is abnormal, or if there is unexplained bleeding or discharge, colposcopy may be advised. In this procedure the doctor examines the cervix closely with a magnifying instrument and, if needed, takes a small sample for testing.
