Cell changes
The examination is done under local anaesthesia and takes 10-15 minutes. Once the anaesthetic is working, you will not feel any pain.
After KBC, you may have light bleeding for a few days. We place a gauze in the vagina, which is removed after 3-4 hours. The samples are sent for analysis, and after 8-10 days you will receive an answer about the next steps, e.g. control or Cone cut.
Facts and FAQ
The test can show no cell changes or mild, moderate or severe changes. Mild changes often resolve on their own, while moderate and severe changes require closer monitoring or treatment to prevent the development of cancer.
