Biopsy in Dr. Esra Cabuk Comert's Clinic

A cervical, vaginal, or vulvar biopsy at Dr. Esra Cabuk Comert's Clinic in Ankara, Turkey, identifies precancerous or cancerous changes in tissue. This diagnostic uses a colposcope with 6-40x magnification to precisely sample suspicious lesions identified during a visual exam. The clinic holds accreditation from the Turkish Medical Association and specializes in gynecology and women's health.

The examination helps patients who have received abnormal Pap smear results or tested positive for high-risk HPV. A specialist gynecologist performs the biopsy in an outpatient setting, often during the same visit as the initial consultation. The procedure typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes to complete.

Diagnostic process and equipment

• Colposcopy-guided method. The specialist washes the cervix with saline and acetic acid to highlight irregular areas.
• High-magnification imaging. A lighted colposcope provides a detailed view of the tissue for accurate sampling.
• Tissue sampling. The doctor uses biopsy forceps to collect small samples from suspicious areas for laboratory testing.
• Anesthesia options. Most patients do not need sedation, though local anesthesia is available for multiple samples.
• Pathology review. A laboratory examines the tissue under a microscope to provide a definitive diagnosis.

Preparation and results

Patients should empty their bladder and bowels before the appointment. It is necessary to avoid intercourse, tampons, and vaginal medications for one to two days before the test. The clinic does not perform this biopsy during a patient's menstrual period. Most women resume their normal daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Following the biopsy, patients must avoid douching or using tampons for three days. The final pathology report determines the next steps in the clinical plan. The clinic features multilingual staff to support international patients throughout their visit. You can request a consultation for this diagnostic through the Bookimed platform.
