Nature and Purpose of the Procedure

A colposcopy is an in-office exam to inspect your cervix, vagina, and vulva for abnormal cells, usually recommended after an abnormal Pap smear. The doctor inserts a speculum (the same metal or plastic tool used during a routine Pap test) to hold the vagina open. A special magnifying microscope called a colposcope remains outside the body and is focused on your cervix. The doctor applies a mild vinegar-like solution (acetic acid) or iodine wash to the cervix. This solution highlights abnormal cells by turning them white. If the doctor spots any abnormal areas, one or more small samples of tissue (biopsies) will be taken using a small pinching instrument. You may feel a pinch or a brief cramp during the biopsy. A liquid paste (Monsel's solution) is applied to the biopsy site to stop bleeding, which can cause a dark, mustard-like vaginal discharge for a few days.

Material Risks and Potential Complications

Vaginal bleeding: Moderate bleeding or spotting is normal for 3 to 5 days after a biopsy. Heavy bleeding (soaking through a standard sanitary pad in an hour) is rare but requires clinical evaluation.

Pelvic pain: Mild uterine cramping or pelvic discomfort is common during and immediately after the procedure and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Local infection: A rare risk of bacteria entering the cervix or uterus. Signs of infection include severe abdominal pain, fever, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge.

Cervical scarring: Very rare for simple biopsies, but repeat procedures can lead to narrowing of the cervical opening.

Pregnancy precautions: If you are pregnant, the colposcopy can still be performed safely, but cervical biopsies are generally avoided unless cancer is strongly suspected, due to a slightly increased risk of bleeding.

Reasonable Alternatives to Colposcopy & Biopsy

Observation and repeat screening: Delaying the colposcopy and repeating a Pap test and HPV test in 6 to 12 months, suitable only for low-risk, minor cell changes.

Declining the procedure: Choosing not to undergo the examination. This carries the risk of leaving abnormal or precancerous cervical cells undetected, which could progress over years to cervical cancer.

Risks of Declining the Procedure

By declining this evaluation, you accept the risk that precancerous cervical changes will remain undiagnosed. Cervical precancer typically causes no symptoms. Delaying diagnostic biopsies makes early, highly effective local treatment impossible and increases the risk of developing invasive cervical cancer.

Pathology and Laboratory Routing Disclosures

All cervical tissue samples collected during the biopsy will be preserved and sent to an accredited pathology laboratory for microscopic analysis. The pathologist will generate a diagnostic report. The clinic will contact you with these results, typically within 7 to 10 business days, and outline any necessary follow-up or treatment plans based on the pathology findings.

Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to refuse the examination or withdraw your consent at any time before the biopsies are performed. Your decision will not affect your ongoing care, access to other medical services, or relationship with your doctor.

Language Access Services
