A colposcopy (kol-POS-kuh-pee) is a procedure by which a surgical device called a colposcope examines the cervix, vagina, and vulva.
If the findings of a Pap smear (the screening test used to detect irregular cervical cells) are unusual, the treatment is normally performed. A colposcope is a big , bright-light electrical microscope that allows your doctor to see your cervix more clearly and under magnification.
