What is a Colposcope?

What is the instrument of a Colposcope?
The colposcope is a relatively simple instrument that allows examination of the cervix under light illumination at various low-power magnifications.
It consists of a binocular microscope and light source, often incorporating a beam splitter to allow attachment of a still or video camera.
How do I choose a colposcope?
Select a device with an adjustable height and a flexible arm, so the colposcope can precisely position. Also look for user-friendly controls and intuitive software so that operation is a seamless experience.
Is a hysteroscope the same as a colposcope?
A hysteroscopy is a procedure to examine the lining of the uterus for any abnormalities. It is a more involved procedure than a colposcopy because it involves inserting a thin tube called a hysteroscope all the way into the uterus.
How long does a colposcope take?
The colposcopy procedure usually takes about 5 minutes, but it can take longer (10 to 15 minutes) if treatment is carried out.
Overall, including the time it takes to discuss your problem with the colposcopist, your appointment should last 20 to 30 minutes. A colposcopy can be slightly uncomfortable for some women.2
Are colposcopies painful?
Does a colposcopy hurt? A colposcopy is nearly pain-free. You might feel pressure when the speculum goes in. It might also sting or burn a little when they wash your cervix with the vinegar-like solution.
