I've had 2 colposcopies and one biopsy. The first biopsy was painful because I was given an injection at the site (inside my vagina) and the injection was not fun. The colposcopy was not a problem at all. There is a monitor where the fiber optic camera shows video of its path into your vagina. I watched to see the same thing that my doctor was watching and she explained things as we progressed. She could not detect any problem areas but used an iodine type of swab afterward. Not much stinging really, but I didn't realize that I would have a discharge for about 2 weeks afterward. If you are scheduled for a colposcopy, remember to take a panty liner with you. I was given one while at the doctor's but it wasn't thick enough nor big enough and by the time I got home, my panties were too wet for comfort. Good luck to you!
