Colposcopy Dubai - Why is it Important?
A colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure that enables doctors to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease.
It is typically performed when a Pap smear result shows abnormality, indicating the presence of irregular cells that may need further evaluation.
Why you may need a Colposcopy Dubai
Abnormal Pap smear results
Excessive Hair Growth (Hirsutism)
Unexplained vaginal bleeding or pain
Persistent infections or inflammation
Suspicion of cervical pre-cancer or cancer
What to expect during a Colposcopy?
- The procedure is conducted in a clinic and typically takes 10-15 minutes.
- A special magnifying instrument, a colposcope, is used to examine the cervix.
- A mild acetic acid solution is applied to highlight abnormal areas.
- A biopsy may be taken if any abnormalities are detected.
Colposcopy is a minimally invasive procedure with no significant downtime. Mild discomfort or spotting may occur post-procedure.
Cervical screening Dubai: The key to early detection
