The possibility of a biopsy

The doctor can immediately take a biopsy of suspicious areas, which speeds up the diagnostic process.

A wide range of applications

Colposcopy is used for diagnosis, post-treatment monitoring, and routine checkups.

Preparation for colposcopy

Before colposcopy, it is recommended to refrain from sexual intercourse, the use of vaginal products and douching 24-48 hours before the procedure. The procedure should be performed outside the menstrual period, as bleeding can make examination difficult.

Colposcopy procedure

The doctor inserts a mirror into the vagina to provide access to the cervix. A colposcope equipped with magnifying lenses and a light source is placed at a distance from the vagina and does not touch the patient's body. The doctor treats the cervix with special solutions for better visualization of abnormal areas. The procedure takes about 10-20 minutes and may be accompanied by slight discomfort, but is not painful.

Recommendations after the colposcopy procedure

After the colposcopy, you can immediately return to normal business. If a biopsy has been performed, light spotting and discomfort may occur for several days. It is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and consult him in case of severe pain, heavy bleeding or signs of infection.

Stress-free menopause: how hormone therapy helps women

With age, women experience a natural decrease in reproductive function, known as menopause. This process takes a long time and is accompanied by changes in the physical and emotional state, hormonal restructuring and complete cessation of menstruation. On average, menopause (the so-called last menstruation in a woman's life) occurs at the age of 45-55 years, but its precursors may appear earlier, and the process of "restructuring" the body can last for several years. A decrease in the level of female sex hormones leads to unpleasant symptoms that not only worsen the quality of life, but can also contribute to the development of serious diseases. Although menopause is not a disease and does not require treatment, there are methods to improve well-being and prevent complications. One of these methods is menopausal hormone therapy (MGT). The decision on the need and time of MGT is made by a gynecologist. To understand whether such therapy is necessary for all women, it is important to understand the nature and characteristics of menopause.
