Q: Are Colposcopy And Colposcopy Biopsy The Same Thing?
Answer: Colposcopy and Colposcopy Biopsy are not the same thing, colposcopy is a screening method, and colposcopy biopsy is a method of diagnosis. Under colposcopy, the observed image is magnified by 10 to 60 times, and it is found that small lesions that cannot be detected by the naked eye. With this magnification effect, observe your cervix more carefully (also observe the vagina and vulva), but not directly. , But use acetic acid and compound iodine solution to smear the observed area before observing. By observing the changes in the color of the epithelium and the characteristics of the blood vessels, we can assess whether there are lesions in the cervix, as well as the location and scope of the lesions. Then, take out a small piece of the suspected lesion and go for inspection (if necessary, you have to scrape the cervical canal tissue for inspection) to see if there is any lesion in the end. This process of taking a small piece of tissue and sending it to pathology is called "biopsy". Therefore, biopsy is a step in colposcopy. If the cervix is normal under colposcopy, no further cervical biopsy is needed. If abnormal TCT or HPV high-risk type persistent infection is found during cervical cancer screening, colposcopy is needed in this case, suspicious parts are found under colposcopy, and then a biopsy is performed to determine whether there are any lesions in the cervix .
Q: When will the colposcopy be done?
Answer: 1. The best time for colposcopy is 7-10 days after menstruation is clean. 2. If necessary, colposcopy can also be performed at any time during the menstrual period, but it should not be performed during the period of maximum menstrual bleeding. 3. Before the colposcopy, the subject is prohibited from vaginal intercourse, douche and medication for at least 24 hours.
Q: Will the colposcopy biopsy bleed?
Answer: The cervix tissue is taken from the living body through a colposcopy. The wound is exposed, so bleeding will occur. Generally, the bleeding can be stopped in 3-5 days, and the wound needs to be recovered slowly.
