What is Colposcopy?

DySIS colposcopy is a detailed examination of the cervix (the neck of the womb).

DySIS is a high performance imaging system designed specifically to provide your clinician with advanced information about the cells that cover the delicate lining of the cervix, and to ensure you get the highest standard of care.

Colposcopy is usually done if you've had an abnormal cervical screening test (also sometimes known as a smear test). In rare cases, abnormal cervical cells can become cancerous, so a cervical screening test helps to ensure that any cell changes are diagnosed and, if necessary, treated as soon as possible.

During a colposcopy, DySIS does not touch your body, or go inside it, and the procedure should not cause you any pain or discomfort. The clinician carrying out the colposcopic examination with DySIS will look at the cervix on a screen and DySIS will assist them in a diagnosis.

The DySIS examination will take about three minutes when you will be asked to remain as still as possible.
