A member asked:

I've had 5-6 abnormal paps over past 2 years and was told to continue regular paps every 3 months suddenly my doctor wants an immediate colposcopy. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A closer look: Persistently abnormal pap smear results are a valid indication for colposcopy for a closer examination and likely biopsy for tissue examination by a pathologist. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/colposcopy/my00236.
