There are times when a simple, minor procedure is more suitable than medication alone. Our GP in Paarl, Dr Cathy Kabongo, performs these quickly and safely in her consultation room so that you can address your health concerns in a timely and safe manner.
What procedures does our GP in Paarl offer?
Dr Kabongo offers several minor medical procedures, namely:
- Pap smear: A simple screening test that retrieves cells from the cervix to review if any changes require further attention
- Skin tag removal: The small growths of skin can be removed safely and quickly in Dr Kabongo’s consultation room
- Wound care: We are able to clean, dress and if necessary, suture a wound to support your healing and reduce infection risk
- Incision and drainage (IND): These painful swellings or abscesses can be opened and drained to relieve discomfort by our GP in Paarl
- Reproductive wellness: Care that helps to support reproductive wellness and is a simple in-room insertion procedure
When is choosing a procedure the right choice for you?
If you have a concern that requires more than medical advice, Dr Kabongo may suggest a minor procedure. Fortunately, this method can provide faster solutions to your pain and discomfort.
How can you prepare for your procedure?
If you are looking to make your minor procedure as easy as possible, try wearing loose-fitting clothes that allow access to the area that needs to be treated, and bring any medical history or recent test results.
