Cervical Biopsy

Cervical Biopsy Test in Bhubaneswar

The cervix is the lowest part of the uterus, which forms canals that open into the vagina. A Cervical Biopsy is a procedure wherein tissue from the walls of the cervix is scraped or removed to test for any abnormal growth, precancerous conditions, or cervical cancer.

Cervical biopsies can be done in several ways, such as: 

  • Punch biopsy: In this method, a tissue sample is removed using a circular blade, similar to a paper hole puncher. Punch biopsies may be performed on various cervix regions one or more times.

  • Cone biopsy: During this treatment, a laser or knife removes a cone-shaped portion of tissue from the cervix.

  • Endocervical curettage: During this operation, the endocervical canal's lining is scraped with a curette, a narrow device. This region is invisible from the exterior of the cervix.

FAQ's

  • A Cervical Biopsy may be needed when abnormalities are found during a pelvic exam. 

  • It may also be done if abnormal cells are found during a Pap test. 

  • A positive test for the human papillomavirus (HPV) may also call for a Cervical Biopsy. HPV is a type of sexually transmitted infection. Certain types of HPV can cause cervical cancer and other less common types of genital cancer. 

  • A Cervical Biopsy is often done as part of a colposcopy. This is also called a Colposcopy-guided Cervical Biopsy. A Colposcopy uses an instrument with a special lens to look at the cervical tissues.

  • A cervical biopsy may be done to find cancer or precancer cells on the cervix. Cells that appear to be abnormal but are not yet cancerous are called precancerous. These abnormal cells may be the first sign of cancer that may develop years later. 

Your doctor will use a Colposcopy to examine the vagina and the cervix using a colposcope. The device has a light and a magnifying lens, which greatly enlarges the image. The cervix and vaginal walls' tissues are more visible to the medical professional.

These disorders can also be diagnosed and treated with a Cervical Biopsy.

  • Polyps: These are cervical wall growths that are not malignant. 

  • Genital warts: This could indicate that you are infected with HPV. Cervical cancer risk factors include HPV. 

  • Diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure if the mother takes DES during pregnancy. DES raises the risk of cancer of the reproductive system. 

Plan your Cervical Biopsy for the week following your menstruation. As a result, a cleaner sample will be available for evaluation. Additionally, you should make sure to discuss any medications you take with your doctor. You may be urged to stop taking drugs that could make bleeding more likely, like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Warfarin.

  • Tampons, douches, and medicinal vaginal creams should not be used for at least 24 hours before your biopsy. Additionally, you ought to abstain from having sex throughout this period.

  • You must refrain from eating for at least eight hours before any Cervical Biopsies that involve a cone biopsy or other procedures that call for a general anaesthetic.

  • Your doctor could advise you to take paracetamol or another painkiller approximately half an hour before your consultation. After the surgery, you can have a little bleeding, so bring some sanitary pads. 

  • Having a family member or friend drive you home is also a smart option, particularly if you're under general anaesthesia. 

The consultation will start with a standard pelvic exam. Your feet will be in stirrups when you lie down on an examination table. Next, to numb the region, your doctor will administer a local anaesthetic. You will be given a general anaesthetic to put you to sleep if you are having a Cone Biopsy.

Then, as the procedure progresses, your doctor will place a speculum –a medical device in the vagina to keep the canal open. First, the cervix is cleaned using a vinegar and water solution. While there may be some burning sensations involved, this cleansing procedure shouldn't hurt. Iodine swabs can also be used to examine the cervix. This examination, known as Schiller's test, aids your physician in determining whether any tissues are abnormal. The surgeon will use a curette, a scalpel, or forceps to remove the aberrant tissues. If a forceps is used to remove the tissue, you can get a small pinching feeling. To minimise bleeding after the biopsy, your doctor could place absorbent material inside your cervix. This is not necessary for every biopsy.
