How long does it take for colposcopy biopsy results to come out?

Many people think that having a cervical biopsy means that they may have cervical cancer, and they are very worried and anxious. Some people even oppose having a cervical biopsy. In fact, cervical puncture biopsy is indeed a relatively reliable basis for diagnosing cervical cancer. Cervical puncture biopsy can detect many diseases.

How long does it take for a cervical puncture biopsy to produce results? Let’s learn more about it below!

Which high level in cervical biopsy indicates cancer?

If the cervical biopsy shows cervical lesions, CIN reaches level 3 or above, and invades the glandular duct, then it is a lesion. If it is only CIN level 1-2, it is a mild or mild to moderate cervical lesion, and it is not a lesion.

If it invades the glandular duct, it is a lesion.

Which cervical puncture biopsy

Cervical puncture biopsy is a biopsy of the cervix, which means taking a small piece or several pieces of tissue from the cervix for pathological examination to confirm the diagnosis. It is mostly used for abnormal cervical lesions or abnormal cells in cervical smears.

Cervical puncture biopsy can confirm the diagnosis and clarify the treatment method.

Cervical puncture biopsy is the most reliable basis for diagnosing cervical cancer. Regardless of whether it is early or late stage cervical cancer, this examination must be performed to determine the pathological type and cell differentiation level of the cancer.

Cervical puncture biopsy is helpful in confirming the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is divided into three grades:

Grade II: Mild to moderate intestinal metaplasia.

Grade III: moderate to severe intestinal metaplasia and carcinoma in situ.

Frequently asked questions about cervical biopsy
