Biopsy

A targeted biopsy is a highly specialized examination in which a tissue (biopsy) is taken from a affected area of the cervix using a special tool (biopsy forceps) under constant visual control through a colposcope.

The examination is performed on a gynecological chair by a specialist obstetrician-gynecologist.

No prior preparation on the part of the patient is necessary.

The procedure is associated with slight discomfort - slight pinching when taking the sample and does not require additional anesthesia.

The biopsy taken from the atypical area of the cervix is sent to a specialized laboratory for histological examination (under a microscope) by a pathologist.

The result form the histological examination is obtained in about a week. The subsequent therapeutic action is based on this information.
