colposcopy

Correct evaluation of colposcopy findings and taking a colposcopic biopsy based on these findings enables the detection and complete treatment of early-onset cervical cancer. However, evaluating colposcopy findings requires experience. If the colposcopy procedure is performed by gynecologists, especially those who have worked in this field, patients can be prevented from having to take many unnecessary biopsies, and the most accurate diagnosis can be made with the least number of biopsies. With my extensive experience in the field of colposcopy, I treat my patients with the Colposcopy device in our clinic.
