5. Colposcopy

The health care provider may want to examine the cervix more closely using an office procedure called a colposcopy. Using a lighted microscope that magnifies the cervix, the provider checks the cervix and surrounding areas for abnormal changes.

They may do a biopsy, taking a small tissue sample of any suspicious areas. Depending on their observations, they may also perform an endocervical curettage, or ECC. This involves a deeper, more comprehensive scaping of the inside of the cervical canal.6‘Cervical Dysplasia.’ Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center, 19 Feb. 2017, cancer.columbia.edu/gynecologic-cancers/cervical-dysplasia.
