To confirm the nature
and the stage of the cervical cancer cells or to find out other
complications, a small piece of the cervix is cut and taken out for
biopsy, and this is called cervical biopsy. The cut tissue or the
part of the cervix is examined under microscope and with other
chemicals to find out the nature and condition of the area. The
pathological examination of biopsy can determine whether the cells
are malign or infected by other germs.
Cervical biopsy is advised by doctors
when they find abnormal pap tests. But if the pap tests come out
abnormal don't get nervous or shattered. Its not always HPV virus,
sometimes bacteria, fungi, or other kinds of cells produced during
mensuration are also responsible for negative pap tests.
The cervix area if
infested by Human Papapillomavrus (HPV), produce abnormal malign
cells that slowly grow and affect the adjoining organs from kidneys
to vulva or pelvic areas. The cancer cells at the onset don't show
any symptoms of it, but after certain stage, the symptoms of the
cervical cancer starts showing.
One should not go for pap tests only
after the symptoms persist, but before that too one should go for the
test. In pap test even the very initial stage can be detected, and as
a result you can cure the ailment without much difficulty. After the
positive sign of indication of the tests, the doctor would go for
colposcopy. That is the vaginal interior and the cervix is tested
with the use of a microscope and sometimes some iodine is also added
on the area for better viewing. After colposcopy the tissues are
extracted from the cervix for cervical biopsy. After determining the
stage and the conditions by biopsy the treatments are carried out for
the cancerous cells.
