Colposcopy is a direct observation of epithelial lesions in the cervico-vaginal area using a colposcope with 6-40 times magnification under a strong light source. It is used to observe small lesions in the cervico-vaginal area that are difficult to see with the naked eye and to perform a localized biopsy in the suspicious area to increase the diagnosis rate. Since a biopsy forceps is used to remove a portion of the biopsy tissue from the suspicious area for pathological examination, there may be a small amount of local bleeding from the cervix, which is usually stopped with medication or sterile gauze. After surgery, you should rest properly and avoid strenuous activities. If the gauze is inserted in the vagina, you can usually remove it by yourself after 24 hours, or follow the doctor’s instructions. You should not have sex, vaginal irrigation or vaginal medication for 2 weeks after surgery, do not take hot springs, swimming or sitz baths, and let the cervix recover naturally. Sometimes, depending on the situation, the doctor may ask the patient to take anti-inflammatory medication for a few days after surgery to avoid infection. If the post-operative vaginal bleeding is more than the amount of menstruation and bright red in color, you should visit the hospital promptly and ask your doctor to take care of it. The pathology results of the tissue biopsy during colposcopy are usually available in 7-10 days, so it is important to follow up promptly and ask the doctor to guide further treatment options based on the pathology results. Colposcopy is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure and there are usually no serious complications as long as the above mentioned things are taken care of after the procedure.
