Here is the list of all in-office procedures available at Takoma Park Gynecology.
Our Pain Management Approach for In-Office Procedures
At Takoma Park Gynecology, we use nitrous oxide to help you feel more at ease during in-office procedures. It’s a safe mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen that you inhale through a small mouthpiece or mask, allowing you to control the amount you use. The calming effect usually starts within a couple of minutes and lasts for 5–10 minutes after you stop inhaling it.
Most patients describe the experience as light, relaxed, and easy to tolerate. You remain fully awake, able to hear and respond, and may notice sensations such as tingling, a floating feeling, or mild giggling. Your voice may briefly change as the gas takes effect, but everything returns to normal shortly after use.
Benefits you may notice with nitrous oxide:
- Reduced anxiety and improved comfort
- Fast onset with a quick return to normal
- Self-administered, so you stay in control
- Supportive alternative to oral medications or opioids
Nitrous oxide helps make the procedure feel more manageable by easing anxiety, helping you relax, and improving overall comfort.
Colposcopy
A colposcopy is a diagnostic exam done to check the cervix, vaginal walls, and vulva for any signs of abnormal, pre-cancerous, or cancerous tissue. This exam can help in the early detection and treatment of cervical cancer.
We perform in-office colposcopy within a comfortable and supportive setting.
We prioritize efficient detection of abnormal cellular changes to ensure early intervention and personalized treatment plans. Our team offers informative and compassionate care, guiding you through every step of the process.
Vulvar Biopsy
From skin disorders to potential malignancies, a vulvar biopsy is a test that helps diagnose conditions affecting the vulva. During this procedure, a small tissue sample is taken from the affected area for laboratory analysis.
We understand that dealing with health issues affecting the vulva can be both physically uncomfortable and emotionally distressing.
Our providers can perform procedures like the vulvar biopsy to ensure early detection and timely intervention, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and peace of mind for you.
Endometrial Biopsy
An endometrial biopsy is a quick in-office procedure where a tissue sample is taken from the lining of your uterus (the endometrium). This test is typically used to confirm the presence of abnormal cells that can confirm various conditions affecting the uterus.
We focus on ensuring your comfort and safety while providing clear and detailed communication throughout the procedure. We strive to ensure the procedure is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Once the biopsy results are available, our providers will discuss your results in detail and inform you of the necessary next steps.
Bartholin’s Incision & Drainage
Bartholin's incision and drainage is used to treat painful cysts or abscesses that form in the Bartholin glands, located on each side of the vaginal opening. It provides quick and effective relief from the discomfort caused by these cysts.
Our providers ensure you receive prompt relief with compassionate, minimally invasive care in a comfortable environment. We offer expert guidance through the procedure and recovery period.
LEEP
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) uses a thin wire loop charged with an electric current to remove abnormal tissue from the cervix. It is also called loop electrosurgical excision or loop excision.
LEEP is commonly used to treat cervical dysplasia (abnormal cell growth on the surface of the cervix) and other precancerous conditions.
By removing these abnormal cells, it helps reduce the risk of these cells developing into cervical cancer.
We are dedicated to providing expert care in performing LEEP. Our skilled providers ensure that you receive personalized attention in a comfortable and supportive environment.
