A cervical biopsy and colposcopy are diagnostic procedures used to examine abnormal cervical cells. A colposcopy is a visual examination of the cervix using a colposcope, a special magnifying device that helps identify suspicious areas. If abnormalities are seen during colposcopy, a cervical biopsy may follow this involves removing a small tissue sample for laboratory analysis. While colposcopy is non-invasive and diagnostic, a cervical biopsy is minimally invasive and confirmatory. Both are essential in detecting cervical precancer or cancer, often after abnormal Pap smear results. Together, they help ensure accurate diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment decisions for cervical health.
