What is a vaginal inverted biopsy?

In recent years, women's concern for their physical health has greatly increased. Not only do people pay more attention to maintaining themselves, but they also cherish their physical health more. Therefore, physical examinations for female friends have become more popular. Among the many examination items, colposcopy is one of them. It is an effective way to help doctors determine whether there is a problem with a woman's cervix or vagina. Let's take a look at what colposcopy is.

Colposcopy is a non-vascular interventional electronic endoscope that can enlarge the tissues of the private parts, vagina, cervix, etc. by 40 times, making it easier to detect tiny changes that are difficult for the human eye to see as early as possible. During a vaginal speculum examination, the doctor will insert a lubricated duckbill valve-shaped vaginal speculum into the female vagina, then open it and spread the vaginal walls that are usually close together to observe whether there are any visible changes in your vagina and cervix. Take a long breath when inserting and try to relax as much as possible. The more nervous you are, the more likely you are to feel pain, which will affect the test results.
