Abstract:
In the first article in this two-part series (Vol 8(11): 730-34) the issue of cervical screening and the cervical smear test was described and discussed. This article looks at colposcopy. When a woman receives an abnormal smear test result, she will often require further examination of the cervix in order to identify the degree and area of dyskaryosis. Colposcopy can often provoke feelings of fear and anxiety in women and the nurse must help to alleviate these fears and anxieties. Colposcopy and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia are discussed and the treatment (if any) is outlined.
