Colposcopy
what is colposcopy?
Colposcopy is a procedure done to take a closer look at the cervix and vagina. Your doctor may recommend this procedure if they find abnormal cells during your pelvic examination or Pap smear test. Depending on your condition, your provider may also get a small tissue sample for closer examination.
Consult with one of the doctors at Gynecology Associates of Gwinnett to know more about colposcopy.

These include abnormal cell growth, unexplained bleeding, and other cervical issues.
