A: A colposcopy is a microscopic examination of the cervix using an instrument called a colposcope. It is ordinarily performed as a follow-up to an abnormal Pap smear (Pap test) result. Colposcopy is performed to look for cervical cancer or cells that are known to develop into cervical cancer.
During a colposcopy, a cervical biopsy is taken of any areas that appear abnormal.
