Hemostatic Procedure After Biopsy of the Cervix

Cytological abnormalities of the Cervix uteri need to be clarified by colposcopy biopsy. To avoid bleeding after biopsy, monsel´s paste is a common used Agent. In a randomized clinical Trial the use of monsel´s paste after biopsy will be compared to no Intervention. The Primary outcome of the study is blood loss, secondary outcomes are pain, satisfaction of the patient and influence of Independent factors such as Age and Body mass index.

Treatment and study plan

Monsel´s Paste

Procedure

surgical method to stop bleeding by using the hemostatic Agent monsel´s paste until no more bleeding is visible

Wait and see

Other

finishing examination without hemostatic intervention, awaiting spontaneous coagulation

Primary outcomes

  1. Blood loss after 15 minutes (5-step visual analogue scale)

    Time frame: 15 minutes

    blood loss 15 minutes after biopsy will be measured judging the amount of blood on the sanitary napkin (5-step visual analogue scale)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Blood loss after 3 hours (5-step visual analogue scale)

    Time frame: 3 hours

    blood loss 3 hours after biopsy will be measured judging the amount of blood on the sanitary napkin (5-step visual analogue scale)

  2. Blood loss after 6 hours (5-step visual analogue scale)

    Time frame: 6 hours

    blood loss 6 hours after biopsy will be measured judging the amount of blood on the sanitary napkin (5-step visual analogue scale)

  3. Blood loss after 24 hours (5-step visual analogue scale)

    Time frame: 24 hours

    blood loss 24 hours after biopsy will be measured judging the amount of blood on the sanitary napkin (5-step visual analogue scale)

  4. Sensation of pain after 15 minutes (10-step visual analogue scale)

    Time frame: 15 minutes

    patients will score their pain Level using a 10-step visual analogue scale (VAS) 15 minutes after biopsy

  5. Overall Sensation of pain after 24 hours (10-step visual analogue scale)

    Time frame: 24 hours

    patients will score their pain Level using a 10-step visual analogue scale (VAS) 24 hours after biopsy

  6. Overall Satisfaction of the Patient after 24 hours (10-step visual analogue scale)

    Time frame: 24 hours

    patients will score their satisfaction Level using a 10-step visual analogue scale (VAS)
