Colposcopy at MediClub

Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows a gynecologist to evaluate the cervix, vaginal walls and external genitalia (vulva) for the presence or absence of abnormal (atypical) cells. The study is carried out using a special backlit microscope – a colposcope, which magnifies the tissues, allowing to identify the smallest deviations. Detailed picture helps the doctor to detect neoplasms, determine their location, size and contour and surface features.

Colposcopy is prescribed in the presence of the following indications:

■ detected abnormalities in the cytological smear (Pap test);
■ identified highly oncogenic HPV types;
■ genital warts;
■ ectopia/ erosion of the cervix;
■ suspected precancerous changes in the tissues of the cervix, vagina and vulva;
■ postcoital spotting from the genital tract;
■ inflammatory process in the cervix (cervicitis);
■ endometriosis of the cervix.

The procedure is painless and does not require special preparations.

The main purpose of this examination is to determine the presence or absence of signs of atypia in epithelial cells. If the gynecologist sees any abnormalities during colposcopy, she will take tissue samples (biopsy) from the affected areas.

Colposcopy is one of the best diagnostic methods that with great accuracy allows seeing most of the pathological processes in the cervix, vagina and external genitalia. It is indispensable for the early diagnosis of the cancer process in these organs. In our clinic the study is carried out on high-class Leisegang equipment by the qualified specialists, gynecologists Dr.E.Gadirova and Dr.L.Sharifzade.
