What is a DSC file? Files with the .dsc file extension store information about photographs that have been taken with a Nikon Coolpix digital camera. These files are saved on the camera's memory card along with the corresponding image files. DSC files do not contain any actual image data.
A colposcopy is a procedure that uses a colposcope (a lighted magnifying instrument) to examine the vulva, the vagina and cervix. A colposcopy is done after an abnormal Pap test or a positive HPV test suggests a precancerous condition of the cervix or cervical cancer.
HPV testing is part of the NHS Cervical Screening Programme. If a womanâs cervical screening result shows changes in the cells of the cervix or mild abnormalities (called borderline change or low grade (dyskaryosis), an HPV test will be carried out. There is no blood test for HPV. In men, thereâs currently no reliable test for HPV infection and it's often very difficult to diagnose as there are no symptoms of high-risk HPV. Some people who are known to be at a high risk of having anal HPV and of developing anal cancer may be offered an anal smear.
