El médico debe estar en capacidad de comentarle acerca de cualquier cosa anormal que se observe durante una colposcopia. Una superficie del cuello uterino rosada y suave es normal.
Un especialista llamado patólogo examinará la muestra de tejido de la biopsia del cuello uterino e informará al médico si las células aparecen normales o anormales. Los resultados de una biopsia casi siempre se demoran de 1 a 2 semanas. Si los resultados de la biopsia son normales, quiere decir que no se observó ningún cáncer ni cambios precancerosos en las células.
Los hallazgos anormales que se pueden observar durante una colposcopia pueden ser:
Los resultados anormales de la biopsia pueden abarcar:
