Overview

Colposcopy

We offer colposcopy examinations as part of the NHS cervical screening programme.

A colposcopy is a simple procedure used to look at your cervix. This is the lower part of the womb at the top of the vagina.

A colposcopy can detect problems early and prevent the development of cervical cancer.
