Colposcopy, Cervical Cancer Test and Treatments in India

Colposcopy

Shalby is the 1st Hospital in Ahmedabad to have Colposcopy facility. Colposcopy is a boon for early detection of cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in females in India. Unfortunately, it is detected at a late stage when it is not curable. If cervical cancer is detected at an early stage, it can be surgically removed. The peculiarity of cervical cancer is that in early stage it does not cause any noticeable problem to the patients. The only effective way to detect cervical cancer is colposcopic examination by a trained gynaec-oncosurgeon.

Colposcope is an optical instrument which detects cervical cancer at a very early stage with high accuracy. It is a portable instrument with a light source and magnifying lenses to examine woman’s vagina and cervix for cancer and abnormal areas susceptible to cancer.
