Colposcopy without fear
But take a deep breath: An abnormal result does NOT mean cancer.
Most of the time, it means there is inflammation, an infection, or minor cell changes caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus). To know exactly what’s going on, we need to take a closer look. That’s where colposcopy comes in.
At IREGCI, we perform this procedure every day. It’s the logical step to move from doubt to certainty. Here’s what it involves.
Imagine a Pap smear as sweeping the floor in the dark to see what you find. A colposcopy is like turning on the light and using a giant magnifying glass.
The colposcope is a type of binocular microscope with a powerful light that doesn’t touch you. The doctor places it in front of you (not inside) to examine your cervix with high magnification.
It’s very similar to a regular gynecological exam and lasts about 10 to 15 minutes:
If, during the colposcopy, the doctor sees a white patch or an area with unusual blood vessels, they will take a small tissue sample (biopsy) to send to the pathologist.
Your doctor will usually order this test if:
This examination is the “detective” that allows us to catch lesions before they become dangerous. If we detect a pre-cancerous lesion early, there are simple treatments (such as cauterization or conization) that cure the problem completely and allow you to resume your normal life.
Technology matters. A low-quality colposcope can miss small lesions. At IREGCI, we use Advanced Optics Colposcopes that provide superior clarity. Furthermore, our specialists are trained in cervical pathology, meaning they have the “clinical eye” to distinguish between harmless inflammation and a lesion requiring treatment.
Don’t let your Pap smear go unreliable. The peace of mind of knowing exactly what you have is priceless.

If you have been trying to conceive for more than 12 months (or 6 months if you are over 35) without success, a medical evaluation is recommended.
Insemination places the sperm directly into the uterus, while IVF fertilizes the egg in a laboratory and then transfers the embryo.
Most procedures are minimally invasive and are performed with anesthesia or pain-reduction measures.
It depends on the couple’s age, diagnosis, method used, and overall health. A specialist can estimate your personalized probability.
Female fertility declines significantly from the age of 35 due to the quantity and quality of the eggs.
Egg, sperm or embryo donation can be used.
