|
| Our subjects had had persistent mildly abnormal smears before being referred for colposcopy. |
|
| Pap smears that suggest invasive disease require further evaluation by colposcopy, colposcopic-directed biopsy and endocervical curettage. |

| What advice should be offered to a woman who has a normal colposcopy result after a smear shows low grade cervical abnormalities? |
|
| A visit to a colposcopy clinic can produce more anxiety than a major surgical procedure. |
|
| An abnormal Pap smear is followed by colposcopy, where the cervix is examined using a low-power microscope, and any abnormal areas are biopsied. |
|
| The colposcopist is expected to remain current by attending scientific meetings and postgraduate courses related to colposcopy and treatment. |
|
| So-called low-grade changes in the cells may warrant a colposcopy, in which the cervix is examined through a high power microscope. |
|
| An annual pap smear and a colposcopy, a follow-up procedure to check for cancer, cost her hundreds of dollars. |
|
| Despite these difficulties with lesion identification, researchers have found several characteristic features that can help in locating glandular lesions during colposcopy. |
|
| The program should include a three-month period of colposcopy, cytology, and histology. |
|
| After two abnormal Pap tests and a colposcopy, it was confirmed that she had advanced cervical cancer. |
|
| Some women find colposcopy very painful while others hardly notice it, according to a clinical trial testing topical benzocaine and ibuprofen against placebo. |
|
| Fellows would be encouraged to dedicate research time in the area of colposcopy. |
|
| Previous studies have recommended more frequent cytologic sampling and prompt referral for colposcopy in HIV-positive women with abnormal cytology. |
|
| However, colposcopy requires more expensive equipment and the availability of experienced colposcopists, which can be difficult to obtain. |
|
| A colposcopy is a specialized test where a woman's cervix is examined through a lighted magnifying device called a colposcope. |
|
| The training program for residents should take place in existing university teaching hospitals that have comprehensive colposcopy units. |
|
| The colposcopy preceptor would review the logbook and trainer evaluations with the trainee. |
|
|
|
| The retrospective cohort study included female patients of a large New Zealand hospital that offered centralized colposcopy and obstetric services. |
|
| About half the women who are referred for colposcopy have a normal cervix. |
|
| Continuing medical education would include a regional, national, or international meeting in colposcopy or an advanced colposcopy course every few years. |
|
| Of the 2,188 who underwent colposcopy at BSMMU, 157 were diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2-3 and 123 with invasive cancer. |
|
| The utility of anoscopy and colposcopy in the evaluation of male sexual assault victims. |
|
| Procedures such as endoscopy, laparoscopy, and colposcopy make use of generally flexible optical instruments that can be inserted through openings, either natural or surgical in origin, in the body. |
|
| Such results require further testing, like colposcopy, an uncomfortable procedure in which the cervix is examined with a magnifying device, and biopsy, which can be painful. |
|
| More advanced changes, suggesting progress toward cancer, require colposcopy and probably a biopsy and treatment, which should not be delayed for more than a few weeks. |
|
| In the same outreach clinic on the same day, all women with a positive visual test had colposcopy and were assessed to determine if they were suitable for cryotherapy. |
|
| Women were referred for colposcopy following protocol guidelines. |
|
| Site devoted to cervical pathology and colposcopy. |
|
| Biopsies were taken for all patients with abnormal colposcopy results, and specimens were sent at the end of the day to the pathology laboratory at Conakry for analysis, enabling the histological confirmation. |
|
| Women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus or otherwise immuno-suppressed should be referred for colposcopy if a smear shows any degree of abnormality. |
|
| When cytology suggests the presence of cells suspicious for invasive disease and no lesion is visible, colposcopy is invaluable in identifying the area to be biopsied. |
|
| If the results of your Pap smear are positive, your doctor may want to do another Pap smear test for infections or may want you to have a colposcopy. |
|
| She and consultant Joseph Sant-Cassia together set up Walsgrave Hospital's colposcopy unit, where women who have had positive cervical smears are referred for examination. |
|
| Colposcopy involves an out-patient visit to a hospital, where a gynaecologist examines the cervix closely through a binocular microscope called a colposcope. |
