Your : Your doctor should be ok with you taking a valium prior to the colposcopy. I just recommend you call in advance and inform them of your intentions. Please don't feel horrified about the procedure. Colposcopy is a very common and safe procedure. If you have any questions or concerns make sure you ask your doctor prior to the procedure. Good luck.

Yes: There should be no reason that you could not take a valium before you proceedure. However speak to your surgeon first.

Yes but call clinic: Most clinics will understand if you are nervous and will be happy for you to take a valium before surgery. If you are ever in doubt just call the clinic or office where you are going to have a procedure. Hope all goes well for you.
