Colposcopy during ovulation

A colposcope is a tool that looks inside the vagina and uterus and can reveal many potential health problems. With a colposcope, your doctor can observe the vaginal walls, cervix, and uterus to see if inflammation, tumors, or other health problems are present. If a woman experiences an infection during ovulation, her doctor may use a colposcope to diagnose and treat the infection.

During a colposcopy, your doctor uses tools to insert the colposcope deeply. This process may cause some discomfort, but it usually doesn't have a major impact on your health. The doctor will gently push the colposcope to look inside. This process may take a few minutes, but is usually acceptable.

In addition to observing internal conditions, a colposcope can also help doctors diagnose and treat.
