Colposcopy Index

Featured: Colposcopy Main Article
During a colposcopy, the vulva, vaginal walls, and uterine cervix is examined to detect abnormalities that may suggest diseases such as dysplasia or cervical cancer. Tests performed during colposcopy include acetic acid wash, color filter, or biopsy of the cervix. Treatments for cervical abnormalities include carbon dioxide laser photoablation, cryocautery, LOOP (LEEP), cold knife cone biopsy, or hysterectomy. The type of treatment depends upon the cervical abnormality.

· having a strong need to go to the bathroom right away (also called "urgency")
· leaks or wetting accidents (also called "urinary incontinence")
· having to go to the bathroom too often (also called "urinary frequency")

You should not take once-daily ENABLEX if you have certain types of stomach problems, glaucoma, or have trouble emptying your bladder.
