A colposcopy is used to find cancerous cells or abnormal cells that can become cancerous in the cervix, vagina, or vulva. These abnormal cells are sometimes called \u201cprecancerous tissue.\u201d A colposcopy also looks for other health conditions, such as genital warts or noncancerous growths called polyps. A special instrument called a colposcope gives your doctor a lighted, highly magnified view of the tissues that make up your cervix, vagina, and vulva.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n During the colposcopy, your doctor may perform a biopsy on areas that look unhealthy. A biopsy is the removal of a small amount of tissue for examination by a pathologist. A pathologist can identify abnormal cells by looking at the tissue sample under a microscope. While a colposcopy can suggest that you have cancer or precancerous tissue, only a biopsy can actually make a diagnosis. If an abnormal area is small, your doctor may be able to remove all of it during the biopsy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is a way to remove abnormal tissue from the cervix. It is done using a fine wire loop that has a low-voltage electrical current. LEEP may be done after colposcopy and cervical biopsy have confirmed an abnormal Pap test result. In some cases, LEEP may be done instead of a cone biopsy.<\/span><\/p>\n A LEEP is done in the office. It takes only a few minutes. You can go home after the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n You will be able to return to most of your normal activities in 1 to 3 days.<\/span><\/p>\n You may have:<\/span><\/p>\n You will need to avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and douching for about 3 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n Call your doctor right away if you have problems after surgery, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n A cone biopsy (conization) is surgery to remove a sample of abnormal tissue from the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens at the top of the vagina. Abnormal changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix is called cervical dysplasia.<\/span><\/p>\n You will be able to return to most of your normal activities in 1 to 3 days.<\/span><\/p>\n You may have:<\/span><\/p>\n You will need to avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and douching for about 3 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n Call your doctor right away if you have problems after surgery, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure in which the cervix is opened (dilated) and a thin instrument is inserted into the uterus. This instrument is used to remove tissue from the inside of the uterus (curettage).<\/span><\/p>\n Why is a D&C done?<\/span><\/p>\n D&C is used to diagnose and treat many conditions that affect the uterus, such as abnormal bleeding. A D&C also may be done after a miscarriage. A sample of tissue from inside the uterus can be viewed under a microscope to tell whether any cells are abnormal. A D&C may be done with other procedures, such as hysteroscopy, in which a thin, lighted telescope is used to view the inside of the uterus.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> In our 30s and 40s, as we approach menopause, we’re more likely to develop conditions like fibroids or heavy menstrual bleeding. Unfortunately, having heavy periods means a lot more than simply heavy bleeding; heavy periods can wreak havoc in our lives and can take a physical, social and emotional toll.<\/span><\/p>\n Social effects:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bartholin\u2019s cyst are the fluid-filled sac which automatically develops inside the opening of the vagina. These cysts are generally benign and usually feels like small painless lumps, which are soft when they are touched. These are formed around the area of Bartholin\u2019s glands. The Bartholin\u2019s glands are a pair of small-sized glands present in the right and left side of the opening of the vagina. Bartholin\u2019s glands help secrete mucus for the lubrication of the vagina. The fluid secreted by these glands slightly moisten the opening of the vagina to make contact with this area more comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n The Bartholin\u2019s glands can become inflamed and blocked which signs towards the development of cysts in the opening of the vagina. When the Bartholin\u2019s cyst inflames then this condition is called as bartholinitis. The cyst may become infected, and an abscess may develop in the gland. This infected cyst turns out in an intense red color and feels painful and hot, which can also lead to a high temperature of 38 degrees C and above.<\/span><\/p>\n However, if these cysts grow in size, then they might become noticeable and uncomfortable. People feel pain inside the skin around the vagina (vulva) while they walk, sit down or during sexual intercourse. These cysts can sometimes affect the outer region of the area surrounding the vagina (labia majora). As a result, one side of the vagina may look bigger or swollen than the other side. Sometimes home remedies can treat Bartholin\u2019s cysts but in some cases, surgery is required.<\/span><\/p>\n Women with the symptoms of Bartholin\u2019s cysts or abscesses are advised to undergo an excision procedure to get relief from the symptoms of Bartholin\u2019s cysts. When the surgery is performed systematically, then the procedure can treat the condition and prevent the reoccurrences of such issues in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n The severity of the symptoms are the major factors on which the treatment of Bartholin\u2019s cysts typically depends. A number of patients do not experience any symptoms related to this treatment which means that surgery is not required in such cases. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Urodynamics are a means of evaluating the pressure-flow relationship between the bladder and the urethra for the purpose of defining the functional status of the lower urinary tract. The ultimate goal of urodynamics is to aid in the correct diagnosis of lower urinary tract dusfunction based upon its pathophysiology.\u00a0Urodynamic studies should assess both the filling and storage phase, as well as the voiding phase of bladder and urethral function. In addition, provocative tests can be added to try to recreate symptoms and assess pertinent characteristics of urinary leakage.<\/span><\/p>\n Simple urodynamic tests involve performing noninvasive offcie uroflow studies, obtaining a postvoid residual (PVR) urine measurements, and performing single-channel cystometrography (CMG). A single-channel CMG (ie, simple CMG) is used to assess the first sensation of filling, fullness, and urinary urge<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP)<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
