Cervical biopsy

Cervical biopsy is an important diagnostic procedure. It is carried out by surgical intervention and minimally traumatic fencing of a piece of tissue from the lower segment of the uterus for examination using an optical device.

It is necessary if a gynecologist detects any abnormal changes in the cervical area during a visual examination or smear test that indicate precancerous conditions or oncology. It can be performed in case of detection of the papillomavirus, which provokes tumor-like formations.

The importance of a biopsy is that it provides information about the cells of the cervix and allows you to examine the symptoms of diseases at early stages. Biopsies help to make a diagnosis, predict the development of the disease and prescribe the right treatment.
