Colposcopy with a cervical biopsy is a procedure similar to a speculum examination, where a colposcope (a special microscope) is used to closely examine the cervix for abnormalities. It typically causes little or no pain, although some discomfort or mild cramping may be experienced during the biopsy. It does not require surgical anesthesia or overnight hospitalization, does not involve dilation of the cervix for uterine tissue biopsy, and does not visualize the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes directly.
