Any type of examination also allows you to take a biopsy for subsequent laboratory examination. Colposcopy abroad is performed using advanced equipment and materials, which makes it possible to determine the nature of the disease faster and more accurately.
Indications for colposcopy
Colposcopy is prescribed if various pathologies of the vulva, vagina and the outer part of the cervix are suspected. The most common indication is the monitoring of ectopias and dysplasia of the cervix in dynamics.
Targeted colposcopy is prescribed for the diagnosis of the following diseases:
- Ectopia (erosion) and cervical dysplasia
- Leukoplakia and erythroplakia of the cervix
- Vaginitis and vulvogynitis
- Polyps and genital warts
- Cysts, polyps, and other benign neoplasms
- are "borderline" tumors of the cervix, vaginal walls, and vulvar tissues.
- Endometriosis
- Malignant tumors (including cervical cancer)
In addition, colposcopy is relevant for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment, in preoperative preparation and the postpartum period, especially if the delivery was traumatic. Women at risk (for example, those suffering from oncogenic strains of human papillomavirus) should undergo research on a regular basis.
A simple colposcopy is prescribed as part of a package of "check up" studies aimed at a comprehensive check of women's health.
The result of colposcopy abroad
Colposcopy in foreign clinics and departments is performed using enhanced optical technology and modern reagents, which increases the information content and safety of diagnosis.
During the procedure, the doctor gets the opportunity to:
- To assess the condition of the mucous membranes, blood vessels, squamous epithelium and other tissues of the female reproductive organs
- To detect neoplasms in the early stages
- Make tests for cell atypia
- To clarify the nature of the blood supply to tissues (normal or impaired)
- Perform a biopsy of suspicious areas
Colposcopy is a painless procedure that does not require careful and lengthy preparation. It lasts 20-30 minutes and provides 85% reliable information about the state of the organs. If necessary, a woman may be prescribed additional clarifying procedures. In foreign medical centers, the colposcopy process is recorded on a digital medium, which increases the convenience of systematization and storage of the data obtained.
