For those who will have a biopsy of the cervix with erosion. Pros and cons of this procedure
What is a biopsy?
Uterine biopsy is a medical procedure. This is called taking a piece of tissue in order to do an analysis on cancer cells. The procedure is carried out with suspicion of oncology and even ordinary erosion (gynecologists often send all patients with erosion to "cauterize" with a laser, but ideally they should do this only after a series of tests). In addition, this action is often prescribed absolutely without any indication: for example, biopsy of the cervix with erosion, which occurs without complications, colposcopy and ectopy is absolutely not needed.
Indications for the procedure
Before the gynecologist writes you a direction,it is necessary to do colposcopy. If the results revealed epithelial patches, painted white (this is checked by acetic acid), a woman is given a biopsy. Let's repeat once again: biopsy of the cervix with erosion is not done!
Contraindications
If you suffer from acute inflammatorydiseases, a biopsy can be done only after full recovery. Women with blood clotting disorders are better, if possible, avoid similar procedures.
How to prepare for the procedure?
First of all, visit the gynecologist and hand over a smear,to make sure there are no infections. In addition, a blood test for RW, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus should be done. After the analysis, a small wound remains in the cervical region. This is one of the reasons why there is no such operation as cervical biopsy during erosion. Ideally, the wound should heal before the woman begins critical days. That is why the procedure is usually assigned in the first phase of the cycle. It is not necessary to do it before the beginning of menstruation: the wound can get an infection and the tissue will become inflamed.
Methods of biopsy
Perhaps the most common method amongphysicians consider taking a piece of tissue with a scalpel; then the seams are applied to the place where the fabric comes from. Another method of biopsy is the radio loop (using the Surgitron device). The disadvantage of this variant is that the piece of tissue taken can be damaged, which will complicate the histology. In addition, within about ten days thereafter, a woman may have vaginal discharge. However, one should not forget that this method is much less painful and completely not traumatic. Therefore, if you have a high pain threshold, the doctor will assign it to you.
Before performing the procedure, the doctor mustreceive a written consent from the patient. He is obliged to warn her about contraindications (in particular, that a biopsy of the cervix is not shown during erosion) and possible side effects. Many women are interested in how much the procedure is painful. In general, everything depends on personal portability. If the areas from which the tissue is taken for analysis are several, and they are very large, you can ask the gynecologist for local anesthesia (the cervix is sprayed with lidocaine or injected into it). To prevent spasms, the patient should be in the most relaxed state.
What can not be done after the procedure?
After taking the tissue for analysis, at least a monthuse tampons and do not have sex. Also, you should refrain from visiting the sauna, sauna and taking a hot bath. Do not lift the weight and do not overexert. If the biopsy has not yielded results, and unpleasant symptoms continue to bother you, it is possible that you have nothing but erosion of the cervix after childbirth. In this case, the gynecologist will prescribe the appropriate treatment.
