A member asked:
Recent pap stated i have mild dysplasia or low grade changes per nurse. i now have to get a colposcopy. what do i expect next?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colposcopy: A pap smear is used to detect precancerous cells on the cervix but it does not tell you where the cells came from or how deep they go. A colposcopy is used to locate exactly where the problem is on the cervix and to find out how extensive or deep the abnormal cells go. Then a treatment plan can be determined.
