Your doctor will suggest that you have more frequent Pap tests until the virus disappears. This may take a year or two. If a woman has both wart virus and dysplasia then further tests will be needed -see below. If dysplasia, or abnormal cells are found, further tests are necessary. One of these tests is called a colposcopy.
Some women experience some abdominal pain.
This like a painful period. It is also normal to have some dark vaginal discharge for several days. A colposcopy is a procedure that usually take about 15 minutes. It is done either in a doctor's rooms or at a hospital. It is not an operation and no anaesthetic is necessary.
