What Is A Colposcopy?
A colposcopy is a medical diagnostic procedure that involves the use of a special magnifying instrument called a colposcope to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease. The team at Mid Nassau OBGYN in Massapequa and Hewlett, NY utilizes colposcopy to provide a detailed view of these areas, enabling them to identify abnormalities and make accurate diagnoses. This advanced technique is particularly helpful in evaluating patients with abnormal Pap smear results, ensuring they receive timely and appropriate care. By incorporating colposcopy into their practice, Mid Nassau OBGYN ensures their patients receive thorough and effective evaluations for better gynecological health outcomes.
What Should I Expect During A Colposcopy?
During a colposcopy, you'll lie on an examination table with your feet placed in stirrups, similar to a regular pelvic exam. Your provider will gently insert a speculum into your vagina to keep it open, then use the colposcope, which remains outside your body, to get a magnified view of your cervix and vaginal walls. They may apply a mild solution, such as acetic acid or iodine, to your cervix to highlight any abnormal areas. The procedure is generally painless, though you might experience mild discomfort or a sensation of pressure. If your provider identifies any suspicious areas, they may perform a biopsy, taking a small tissue sample for further analysis. You can typically resume normal activities immediately following the procedure, though you might experience light spotting or discharge if a biopsy is taken.

Mid Nassau OBGYN Reviews
Amazing experience! It’s obvious he really cares about his patients and makes the whole appointment quick and comfortable
The absolute best there is!!!! Explains everything in a way that makes you comfortable and never gets tired of answering questions. Very personable and his entire staff is phenomenal. Cannot recommend this office and Dr Neuman enough.
Amazing!
The care I received from Dr. Neuman was exceptional! He truly cares about his patients. He listened attentively to my concerns throughout my pregnancy and answered all of my questions in a caring and professional way. His entire staff displayed a high level of professionalism and made me feel comfortable during every visit. After switching to Dr. Neuman (after a bad experience with a different practice during my first pregnancy), I loved Dr. Neuman immediately. I’m the type of patient that questions everything and Dr. Neuman always answered all of my questions. He was never pushy or arrogant like some doctors can be. He was always available if I had a question or concern. He is extremely knowledgeable and I fully trusted him throughout my pregnancy and during my c-section surgery. My recovery was a million times better with Dr. Neuman at Mount Sinai South Nassau - I had an excellent experience during and after my c-section and highly recommend everyone at South Nassau! Dr. Neuman - your expertise and exceptional care have made a real difference. I can't thank you enough for the special, excellent care you have provided and for the unique gift you are to your patients. I am blessed that you were my doctor! Thank you!
He is one of the far best gynecologists I have ever met, very understanding listens takes his time he definitely addressed my issue and cured the problem . He treats everyone like family . Hands down he’s truly the best .
