Are Vaginal Scraping And ECC Done Routinely With A Colposcopy?
Question: With a colposcopy do they routinely do ECC and vaginal scraping?
Brief Answer:
Not done routinely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Vaginal scraping and ECC are done only in suspicious cases. In case there is any pus or abnormal discharge or there is any lesion on the cervix. If there any abnormal transformation zone detected in endocervix after acetic acid or Lugol's iodine solution then only a biopsy is taken. These are not taken routinely for all the patients. Vaginal swab is taken to rule out any infections.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
