Colposcopy & Cervical Biopsy | Purpose,Preparation, Procedure, Results, complications and More

What are the results of the biopsy?

It will confirm if you have:

  • HPV infection or genital warts
  • Simple polyps
  • (CIN ) cervical intra epithelial neoplasia which is a precancerous condition.
  • (CGIN) cervical glandular intra epithelial neoplasia which is less common than (CIN) but more severe and detected only in the glandular cells of the cervix.
  • Cervical cancer.

Grading of CIN:

  • Grade 1: low grade intra epithelial lesion (LSIL)
  • Grade 2: high grade intra epithelial lesion (HSIL) in which the dysplastic cells are seen in more than 1/3 of the lining of the cervix .
  • Grade 3: high grade intra epithelial lesion (HSIL) in which the dysplastic cells are seen in more than 2/3 of the lining of the cervix.
  • Carcinoma in situ (CIS): in which the dysplastic cells are seen all over the epithelial lining of the cervix but not extending to the basement membrane.
