Colposcopic examination to detect cervical precancerous changes

Colposcopy

  • Colposcopy is an examination of the cervix and vagina using a special microscope with 10-20 times magnification, and it is done during a regular gynecological check-up. This examination allows us to better see some changes in the tissues of the vagina and the cervix.
  • Colposcopy can be done during any regular check-up or when there are indications for it to be performed: changes around the cervix, bleeding after intercourse or after suspicious findings after a PAP test. Other indications for colposcopy are genital condyloma, inflammation, polyps or unexplainable bleeding.

How is colposcopy done?

  • Colposcopy itself is completely painless and lasts between five and ten minutes. It starts with fitting a vaginal speculum and monitoring on the screen if there are any changes visible, then acid saline is administered and then Lugol’s solution. After the administration of the solutions, you might feel slight tingling. After every solution we would monitor the changes and determine whether additional examinations are needed.  If there are suspicious changes, we would do a biopsy of that area to set a correct diagnose.
  • We would remove a small part of the tissue with a special instrument and sent to a histopathological analysis. The biopsy is a short process, you would feel some tingling and there could be sparse bleeding. You might have dark spotting for a few days after the biopsy.
