Colposcopy of the cervix

What is advanced colposcopy

Colposcopy is a research method that is carried out with the help of a special device - a colposcope. The examination refers to non-invasive procedures, it allows you to painlessly examine the vagina and cervix. In addition, if a malignant tumor is suspected, the doctor always has the opportunity to conduct diagnostic tests and perform a biopsy during the examination. Preparation for colposcopy is minimal.

Indications for examination:

  • pains in the lower abdomen and abundant discharge;
  • bloody discharge not associated with menstruation;
  • suspect of uterine inflammation;
  • discomfort during intercourse and discharge after it;
  • "bad" smear result;
  • prophylactic examination for women after 40 years.

Preparation for colposcopy

To obtain accurate results, doctors recommend avoiding sexual contact, douching, and the use of vaginal medications two days before the diagnosis. You can only wash with boiled water. If you are interested in the question of which day of the menstrual period colposcopy is performed, we recommend that you consult a doctor, since the phase of the cycle, the age of the patient and the stage of the disease should be taken into account here. Usually, the examination is scheduled for the fifth-seventh day of the monthly cycle. You can take sanitary napkins with you for the examination

What is colposcopy and how is it done

Before the procedure, the specialist will talk about the nuances of the examination in general terms and answer questions.

A woman must undress below the waist and lie down on a gynecological chair. The doctor will ask the patient to relax as much as possible and insert a mirror into the vagina. After that, he will introduce the colposcope and treat the cervix from mucus. In addition to the usual examination, if necessary, the specialist can conduct diagnostic tests and even a biopsy. In the latter case, the doctor will warn the patient about this and administer local anesthesia.

After the examination without the use of a biopsy, the woman will be able to return to her normal lifestyle on the same day. There should be no discharge after colposcopy.

If a biopsy was performed, doctors recommend following the following advice for seven to ten days:

  • do not visit the sauna and bathhouse;
  • do not lift heavy objects;
  • do not use tampons;
  • do not douche;
  • do not have sex after colposcopy for a week.

Types of procedures

Examination of the cervix using a colposcope is simple, extended, color and luminescent.

A simple colposcopy is not much different from a regular examination using gynecological mirrors. Duration - up to ten minutes.

Expanded colposcopy will help the doctor clarify the diagnosis and prescribe the correct treatment. The maximum diagnostic time is about half an hour. After an extended examination, slight iodine-colored discharge is possible.

Colposcopy results

As a rule, the results of a routine examination can be obtained on the same day. The doctor will decode the data and answer all questions. If an extended colposcopy with a biopsy was performed, the patient will receive the results in a week, in some cases a little more.

Normal indicators are as follows: the cervix is ​​pink, smooth, not stained with iodine.

Pathological indicators are an abnormal vascular pattern of the mucous membrane, point inclusions, the presence of spots with "white" epithelium, cervical polyps, condyloma acuminate, as well as leukoplakia.

We remind you that any colposcopy results must be deciphered by a specialist.

Research during pregnancy

If you are interested in the question of whether a colposcopy is performed during pregnancy, read the next section.

Pregnancy is not a contraindication for colposcopy. However, there are nuances here. The absolute indication for colposcopy is erosion of the cervix. A pregnant woman with untreated erosion should be put under special care, as erosion during pregnancy tends to progress.

Before prescribing a colposcopy to the expectant mother, the doctor conducts a routine examination and takes a smear. After receiving the results, the woman will be sent for examination. Pregnant women can only have a regular colposcopy. Diagnostic tests are inadmissible in this case.

When deciding, pay attention to the professional level of the doctors who will perform the procedure and the devices designed for diagnosis.
