Endoscopy
Endoscopic surgery, or endoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small cut, or sometimes even one of the body’s natural orifices to insert a thin tube (or two) with a camera and/or a surgical instrument on its end. The procedure is designed to explore and operate with minimal discomfort for the patient. Patients who undergo endoscopies generally exhibit fewer post-operative complications and undergo faster recoveries.

Palpation
Palpation is a method of physical examination in which an examining physician feels (using his fingers or his palm) the outside of the patient's body part. The doctor may look for an unusual firmness or tenderness, which could be a manifestation of an internal condition.

Pap smear
The Pap Smear (or the Pap Test) is used to analyze cells in a cervix. The Pap test can detect infection, unhealthy cells or cancer. It is recommended that generally, women should undergo the procedure once a year as a part of their regular visit to gynecologist. During the test, a special stick or brush is used to swab a few cells from the inside of the cervix. The test is usually painless and causes only minor discomfort.
