A member asked:
Do i need annual colposcopy for bad hpv forever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If your pap smear is abnormal, then colposcopy would be the next step.Otherwise, use the pap smear as a screening tool for the need for colposcopy since hpv positive patients do not always develop a abnormal pap.
