Colposcopy
Colposcopy is a diagnostic tool used for further evaluation of abnormal Pap tests. It uses a special magnifying device called a colposcope that allows the doctor to find problems that cannot be seen by the eye alone.

This procedure uses a thin, low-voltage electrified wire loop to cut out abnormal tissue that is often detected during a colposcopy.
