Dr. Mangala Patil offers Colposcopy as an advanced diagnostic procedure to thoroughly examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for any signs of disease, particularly after abnormal Pap smear results. This quick, non-invasive procedure allows Dr. Patil to identify potentially abnormal cells and take biopsies if necessary, providing an accurate diagnosis for early intervention. With her expertise and patient-centered approach, Dr. Patil ensures a comfortable and supportive experience throughout the colposcopy process.

What is a Colposcopy?

A colposcopy is a specialized examination where Dr. Patil uses a colposcope, a magnifying instrument with a bright light, to closely inspect the cervix, vaginal walls, and vulvar area. By using this magnification, she can identify abnormal tissues that may not be visible with the naked eye. Colposcopy is typically recommended if a Pap smear reveals abnormal or unclear results, helping to determine if further treatment is needed.
