Do a colposcopy biopsy

Nowadays, medicine is becoming more and more developed. Among most gynecological examinations, colposcopy biopsy is a very common item. So what is the significance of colposcopy? What should I pay attention to when doing a colposcopic biopsy?

Is colposcopy painful?

Experts say that colposcopy is just a very simple and commonly used examination, and it is a method of checking for cervical cancer. It is generally not painful. Try to relax as much as possible during the examination. Being too nervous will cause discomfort. As long as you relax your body and mind and cooperate with the doctor's examination, there will be no pain.

The significance of colposcopy:

1. Diagnosis: Colposcopy has the following advantages: it can be examined repeatedly and is non-invasive; it helps to identify the nature of lower reproductive tract lesions; it can detect precancerous lesions and early cancers in a timely manner; and it can increase the positive rate of biopsy.

2. Treatment: Colposcopy can improve the accuracy of treatment and avoid missing the lesion site or unnecessary damage caused by excessive treatment.

3. Follow-up: Since colposcopy has the advantages of being non-invasive and repeatable, it can be used as an effective indicator for dynamically observing the development of lesions and evaluating the efficacy of treatment.

4. Scientific research: Colposcopy is a morphological diagnostic measure. Through the colposcope, subtle changes that are invisible to the naked eye can be observed, thereby guiding clinical treatment.

5. Colposcopy is a bridge between clinical and pathological morphology for observing the morphology of living tissues. It is an effective weapon for clinicians to diagnose lower reproductive tract diseases.

Colposcopic biopsy method:

When performing a colposcopy, you only need to use a speculum to expose the vagina and cervix, aim the colposcope lens at the cervix about 20 cm away from the vaginal opening, adjust the focus, and observe the enlarged cervical image through the computer screen. A cervical 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. After disinfecting the vulva, vagina, and cervix, use a special biopsy forceps to take several small pieces of tissue according to the location of the lesion and requirements, fix them in 10% formalin solution, send them to the pathology department for sectioning, stain them, observe and analyze them under a microscope, and then make a pathological diagnosis.
