Skin and Intra-Oral Biopsy

At Dr. Health Medical Clinic, we offer comprehensive diagnostic services, including skin and intra-oral biopsies, to accurately identify and treat a range of suspicious, precancerous, or cancerous lesions. A biopsy is a critical first step in the diagnostic process, allowing for a precise tissue diagnosis that informs our treatment strategy.

Diagnostic Techniques

Our clinic utilizes advanced biopsy techniques to obtain tissue samples from skin or mucosal lesions. Depending on the lesion's size and location, we may perform one of the following procedures:

Punch Biopsy:

A circular tool is used to remove a small core of tissue, ideal for diagnosing a variety of skin conditions.

Incisional Biopsy:

A slice of tissue is removed for analysis, typically used when the lesion is too large to be entirely removed.

Excisional Biopsy:

The entire lesion is removed, often used for smaller lesions or when a complete excision is necessary for diagnosis.

Benefits of Biopsy Procedures

• Accurate Diagnosis: Provides a definitive tissue diagnosis to guide treatment decisions.
• Targeted Treatment: Enables a personalized treatment approach based on the specific type and stage of the lesion.
• Early Detection: Crucial for identifying precancerous or cancerous changes at an early stage, improving treatment outcomes.

What to Expect

Biopsy procedures at Dr. Health Medical Clinic are performed with the highest standards of care and safety. Local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

After the biopsy, the sample is sent to a pathology lab for detailed analysis. Once the results are available, our medical team will discuss the findings with you and recommend the best course of action for treatment.

Post-Procedure Care

Patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling at the biopsy site, which typically resolves within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process and reduce the risk of complications.
