Colposcopy

Have you ever heard of an abnormal Pap smear? If yes, then you must be aware of colposcopy as well. Colposcopy is a medical procedure that analyses the cervix of the woman. It is usually done when abnormal cells are found in the sample taken for a Pap smear test. Also, it is used to detect the cause of unusual vaginal bleeding.

At Euromed Clinic Center, we offer colposcopy treatment to facilitate our patients in the best possible manner.

How is Colposcopy Performed?

Almost 15 minutes are required to perform the procedure, which consists of the following steps;

  • You are asked to lie on a couch, and a device is inserted into your vagina. This device screens the current situation of the vagina.
  • Then a colposcope is placed next to your vulva, and your vagina is revealed in bright light. It helps the doctor to examine the area properly.
  • There is a possibility that a vinegar solution is applied to the targeted area to highlight the doubtful cells.
  • A biopsy is recommended if suspicious regions are detected. Furthermore, if you are getting a biopsy, the pain depends on the kind of tissues being removed.

Here, you need to know that two kinds of biopsies are available. The one is cervical, while the other is named as a vaginal biopsy.

  • If we talk about the cervical biopsy, it is not painful, but you may get cramping or mild discomfort.
  • On the other hand, a vaginal biopsy is painful when performed in the lower area of your vulva. Therefore, your doctor may apply local anesthesia to numb the area.

After getting colposcopy treatment in Dubai, you will experience slight pain in the vagina for two days. Also, there will be mild vaginal bleeding or spotting for a few days. The vaginal discharge might also darken. However, these are all after-effects of colposcopy.
