A colposcopy is a follow-up procedure that is used to further investigate the cervix after an abnormal Pap smear result. A colposcope is a special microscope that magnifies the surface of the cervix to check for abnormalities. A colposcopy is relatively simple and painless. After a speculum is gently inserted through the vagina, the colposcope is used to view and take photographs of the cervix. Cell samples of suspicious areas may be taken for examination. Such a biopsy is necessary to correctly diagnose cervical cancer.

Endometrial ablation is a treatment option for women with extremely heavy menstrual bleeding. In some cases, it can even be an alternative to hysterectomy. Endometrial ablation uses high energy to permanently destroy the lining of the uterus. It should only be used by women who are certain that they do not want to have children.
