Extended colposcopy is a method for examining the cervix and vagina, which allows you to identify pathological changes in the mucous membrane. This method is used to diagnose cervical cancer, polyps, erosion and other diseases.
Colposcopy is carried out using a special device - a colposcope, which allows you to enlarge the image of the mucous membrane and identify pathological changes on it. Before the examination, a special solution is applied to the cervix, which helps to identify pathological areas on the mucous membrane.
One of the most common methods of colposcopy is the treatment of the mucous membrane with a solution of acetic acid. This solution allows you to identify areas of damage that may not be visible during normal examination. Lugol's solution can also be used, which makes it possible to more clearly identify pathological changes in the mucosa.
After treating the mucous membrane, the gynecologist examines the cervix using a colposcope and identifies pathological changes, if any. If the doctor detects any changes in the mucosa, he may order additional tests, such as a biopsy or hysteroscopy.
It is important to note that extended colposcopy is an important method for diagnosing cervical diseases. Regularly conducting this study will help prevent the development of cervical cancer and other diseases, as well as promptly detect and treat pathological changes in the mucous membrane.
