About

Uterobrush is a medical instrument used for taking samples of the uterine mucosa for further analysis. 

Candidate

The Uterobrush is typically used in routine gynecological examinations or as part of a diagnostic procedure to detect abnormalities in the uterine mucosa. Women who have symptoms or are at increased risk of developing certain gynecological conditions may be candidates for this type of test.

Preparation

Before taking the sample, it is important to conduct a thorough examination and prepare the patient for the procedure. This may include explaining the procedure as well as ensuring the patient's comfort during the examination.

Treatment

During the procedure, the physician carefully inserts the Uterobrush into the uterus and gently removes a layer of uterine mucosal cells. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for microscopic analysis to identify any abnormalities or cells that may indicate certain health problems.

Result

The results of the Uterobrush test can help detect cancer cells, precancerous conditions, or other abnormalities in the uterine mucosa. These results are important for establishing an accurate diagnosis and determining further treatment steps, if necessary.

Precautions

The Uterobrush is a standard medical instrument used in clinical settings. Physicians and medical staff performing the procedure should follow hygiene standards and adhere to protocols to ensure the safe and effective collection of samples. It is necessary to ensure that patients are informed about the procedure and any potential side effects or discomfort during or after the test.
