How is colposcopy done?

The inside of the vagina and the cervix are washed with 2% acetic acid. After this special liquid comes into contact with the tissues, it enables the diseased areas to be detected better and more clearly by colposcopy.

For colposcopic examination, the patient is prepared on the gynecological table. A speculum is placed in the vagina so that we can see the vagina and cervix properly.

The inside of the vagina and the cervix are washed with 2% acetic acid. After this special liquid comes into contact with the tissues, it enables the diseased areas to be detected better and more clearly by colposcopy.

Suspicious areas (external genital vulva, vaginal wall, cervix) are examined with a colposcopy instrument placed 20-30 cm away from the vagina. The colposcopy device does not touch the patient, so there is no possibility of causing pain.

With the strong light source and powerful lenses of the colposcopy instrument, places that are likely to be diseased are detected. detected. With 2% lil acetic acid, the color of the normal tissues in the cervix does not change, while the diseased tissues turn white.

It is necessary to perform a biopsy from the tissues that turn white. Since local anesthesia is applied, the patient does not have pain. We perform the colposcopy of our patients who do not have psychological problems such as panic attacks with local anesthesia without sleeping and our patients do not have pain. If we have a patient who wishes, we can do the colposcopy procedure by putting him to sleep.
