Colposcopy
Not necessarily. It depends on a per case basis. In case of a lesion, the specialist may obtain biopsy samples. These samples are usually superficial and do not cause any pain. Occasionally, the patient may experience a mild pain in the lower abdomen, like a cramp.
TECHNIQUES & PROCEDURES
Total Hysterectomy
This is an operation to remove the entire uterus, as well as the fallopian tubes & ovaries, and its quite common, in case of endometrial (uturine) cancer.
Laparotomy
Laparotomy is still considered a reliable and trustworthy procedure for a trained surgeon to perform whenever deemed clinically necessary.
Tumor Debulking
It is one of the heaviest procedures as it removes as much tumors as possible from the abdominal organs and the inner abdominal walls.
