Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Background Cervical cancer is one of the commonest cancers among females and is one of the major causes of mortality. The highest prevalence of cervical cancer in India is due to the lack of awareness for health care. If the healthcare providers can identify these high-risk women and counsel them for seeking medical care and providing health facilities to them, cervical cancer can be diagnosed in pre invasive stage. Various methods have been used for screening out of which pap smear is one of the most commonly used methods. Other methods are VIA, VILI, colposcopy and biopsy. Colposcopy increases the early diagnosis of cervical cancer by visualisation under high magnification and also by taking biopsy from suspected area in the same seating. Materials and Methods Colposcopy was used in the evaluation of cervical carcinoma in 100 patients presented to O & G OPD in Hi-Tech Medical College and Hospitals, Bhubaneswar, with unhealthy cervix or having some risk factors of cervical cancer between the period from January 2014 to January 2015. Results The study was conducted on 100 cases in Hi-Tech Medical & Hospital with the features of unhealthy cervix and the results were analysed. Conclusions In this study, colposcopic examination done for cases with risk factors for cervical cancer and data analysed different appearances of colposcopy have its correlation with carcinoma cervix that needs to be studied in detail.
