You will be examined by a nurse or doctor called a colposcopist. They use a colposcope, which looks like a pair of binoculars on a stand, to look for cell changes. Having a colposcopy is a lot like having a cervical screening (smear) test. If the colposcopist sees any cell changes they may take a biopsy (small pinch of skin). Sometimes you will be offered treatment at your first visit.
