I had that done a few years ago and I'm sorry to say it falls under the title "necessary EVIL " !!! I had the biopsy done though and with me I was told I had a very sensitive cervix and that's why the pain was so great. The nurse was quite angry with the doctor because he wouldn't stop the procedure.To put your mind at ease a little it was mostly the biopsy that caused the pain at least the worst of it . The solution if memory serves correctly was vinigar and then iodine ( they spread over your cervix ) so nothing so drastic.I think they will take greater care with you because you are pregnant . Please try and relax as much as possible ..... it takes about 15 minutes once you are there and then it's over. Take care .... I wish you all the best !!! : )

I've had two colposcopys in the last 7 years for cinIII and cinII, A colpscopy is a little like a smear execept they take swabs which is coating the area of abnormality with an iodine solution which shows the abnormal cells, a biopsy is usually taken as routine as they then send this small sample to the pathology lab for further testing this sample is what will determine the level/grade of the abnormal cells cinI mild dyskariosis,cinII moderate dyskariosis and cinIII severe dyskariosis, I am interested to know how they can determine any abnormality you may have without doing a biopsy. The colpscopy is a little uncomfortable but they do give you a local injection to numb the cervix so you don't feel anything. Good luck I hope all goes well for you.

A colposcopy in itself is not bad. If they have to do a bio[biopsy, it will hurt. The doctor will rub a vinegar solution on your cervix, next he/she will look at your cervix through a high powered microscope. The vinegar makes any abnormal cells show up. Good Luck .

It's just uncomfortable. If no biopsy are being done then it's shouldn't hurt at all.
