Did you know. . . The Reproductive Health Clinic offers Colposcopy (biopsy of the cervix) and Cryotherapy (freezing of the cervix) for diagnosis and treatment of abnormal pap smears? A colposcopy is a procedure which allows your health care provider to look at the cervix with a specialized microscope and take biopsies (samples) of any abnormal looking cells. A biopsy involves removing a tiny piece(s) of tissue (skin). The biopsy is then sent to the lab for testing. Based on the results your health care provider can decide how best treat the abnormality. If your provider decides you need cryotherapy to treat the abnormal cells, this procedure is also available at the Center. During cryotherapy the surface of the cervix is frozen. Freezing causes abnormal cells to peel off, and new ones to grow back.. Through the expertise of Dr. Dean E Johnson, OB-GYN, clients can receive these services at a discounted rate based on income and household size. This is true even if the abnormal pap smear was not done at our clinic. For information about cervical dysplasia/cancer (abnormal pap smears) click on the link at the bottom of the home page for the Reproductive Health Clinic. If you need these services or have questions please call 402-562-9000 or 1-877-862-9199 and ask to speak to a nurse from the Reproductive Health Clinic.
