Things to note before doing colposcopy

Colposcopy is a method of examination that enlarges part of the tissue at the female cervix several dozen times in order to observe subtle changes in the cervix. It has strong clinical performance in distinguishing and diagnosing diseases. Many gynecological diseases require colposcopy. However, there are some common problems in colposcopy that many people are not aware of. In order to ensure the accuracy of the test results and the health of the patient, I will give you a detailed introduction to the common problems before and after colposcopy.

Before inspection, please pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Diet: Although colposcopy belongs to the examination of the reproductive system, the patient should also pay attention to the diet before the examination. Three days before the colposcopy, the diet should not be too greasy, and more foods that are easily digestible should be eaten. In daily life, everyone should also pay attention to their diet before doing any tests to avoid affecting the test results and making poor judgment on the disease.

2. Reproductive system: It is best to avoid doing colposcopy during the menstrual period. The best time to check is 3-7 days after the menstrual period is over. The patient should control the time by herself. In addition, some other tests may be needed before the examination, such as routine examination of leucorrhea, to understand whether the patient has vaginitis, etc. Only after these tests can a colposcopy be performed, so you need to be fully prepared before the examination. Another important point is that you should avoid sexual intercourse and clean the vagina three days before the examination.

Things to note after colposcopy: Since colposcopy removes the patient's puncture biopsy tissue, the patient may experience local bleeding. If the bleeding is relatively small, the patient does not need to worry, but if the amount of bleeding is relatively large, it is best to go to the hospital for medical treatment immediately. In addition, because colposcopy can cause certain damage to the cervix, any activity is strictly prohibited within ten days after the examination.

I will introduce some common questions about colposcopy here. I hope the introduction can bring you some help. Finally, I would also like to remind everyone that in order to ensure the accuracy of the test results, I hope that everyone will pay attention to the several common questions introduced above during the examination. Only when the test results are accurate can we better judge your physical condition.
