Cervical Biopsy

A cervical biopsy is a medical procedure in which a doctor removes a small sample of tissue from the cervix for testing. This procedure is typically used to diagnose or rule out pre-cancerous conditions, such as cervical dysplasia, which can lead to cervical cancer if left untreated. The biopsy results can be used to guide further testing and/or treatment decisions. Cervical biopsy is an important procedure to diagnose or monitor certain conditions of the cervix, and is recommended for women who have had abnormal results from a Pap smears.
