Colposcopy: The typical evaluation of an abnormal pap smear is to first do an examination under a microscope called a Colposcopy. If any abnormalities are seen then a directed biopsy is done. If for some reason a biopsy could not be done then a loop excision procedure (LEEP) would typically be done if there was clinical concern before jumping to hysterectomy

Cervical Cancer??: They are looking for cervical cancer not for HPV positivity. If you have had PAP smears they also look for same. Cervical removal can be done by procedure called colposcopy. See if you can find someone who does that.
