Pap and HPV test
A Pap test and HPV test help find abnormal cell changes in the cervix that could lead to cervical cancer or viruses like the human papillomavirus which is the principal cause of cervical cancer. During the test, you’ll lie down on your back and with your feet in supports. The gynecologist places a metal speculum in the vagina that separates the walls and facilitates access to the cervix. Then, using a spatula takes one or two small samples of cells from the cervix. The samples are sent to a lab to be tested. Usually takes two to three weeks to get the results, the specialist can send them to your e-mail.

Colposcopy
A colposcopy is a test used to help diagnose genital warts, cervicitis, and precancerous cells in the cervix, vagina, and vulva. As with a pap and HPV test, the gynecologist will place a speculum to keep the vaginal walls open. Then, the doctor will wash the cervix with a vinegar solution to facilitate the location of abnormal cells. Next will look into the cervix through the colposcope. If the doctor finds abnormal cells will collect a small sample of tissue that will be sent to testing. Usually takes two to three weeks to get the results, the specialist can send them to your e-mail.
