Magnified Examination Of The Vulva

Maine rates for HCPCS 56820

The skin of the vulva is examined through a colposcope, a lighted magnifying instrument held outside the body, so that subtle changes can be seen clearly. A vinegar-like solution or a dye is often applied first to make abnormal areas stand out. It is used for persistent itching, color or texture changes, or an abnormal screening result, and no tissue is taken during the examination itself.
