Colposcopy procedure

  If you have an indication for colposcopy, you will usually need to see the doctor for 3 visits: the first visit for a gynecological examination, review of previous labs and tests, clarification of the need for colposcopy, signature and preoperative testing, etc. Make an appointment for colposcopy and receive a colposcopy flow chart.  The second visit is a colposcopy visit where colposcopy and cervical biopsy are performed, medication is picked up as ordered and an appointment is made for the next visit.  The third visit, depending on the pathology results, will determine the next step in treatment or follow-up.  Therefore, please be aware that colposcopy will not be performed on the first visit, so please be aware and make arrangements.
