Brief Summary

Women often experience pain and discomfort during colposcopic examination especially at time of colposcopic directed excisional biopsy, pre-procedure anxiety, women pain threshold may also increase pain, woman's cooperation during the procedure is affected by all these factors, which also may hinder the colposcopist from obtaining adequate data and biopsies.

Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods have been studied to reduce pain associated colposcopic directed biopsy (CDB). We aim to study the effect of Celecoxib to reduce pain associated with CDB.
