Colposcopy?

Question:

My doctor found Abnormal cells after my pap, and said i need to come in for a Colposcopy. I heard they are just like a normal pap, but done with a telecope thing that doesnt even touch your body. Do they hurt? And will they do a biopsy right afterwards?? Thanks :)

Answers:
IF they take a biopsy from your vagina or cervix hell yeah its gonna hurt. THEY WILL SEDADTE OR GIVE YOU PAIN MEDS PROBABLY. I had a colonoscopy which is not same thing and they knocked my *** out THANK GOD.

Other Answers:
No they don't hurt, and they take the biopsy during. You should really worry its a piece of cake.

i got this from prevention.com and i quote their article:
..." However, there hasn't been much consensus among physicians about the best way to do this. You could wait 4 to 6 months and repeat the Pap test to see if the "funky" cells cleared up on their own, but it makes a lot of women anxious until they find out what's going on. Or you could have a test called a COLPOSCOPY, which involves looking at the cervix with a special magnifying scope and taking a biopsy--little snips of tissue to examine--which can be uncomfortable and is perhaps unnecessary in the end."
or go to their site for more details. this is the link to the said article: http://www.prevention.com/article/0,5778,s1-1-93-52-2266-1,00.html
hope this helps ;)
