Abstract
Colposcopy is a critical diagnostic tool used to examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for abnormalities, often following abnormal Pap tests or positive HPV results. The procedure helps identify precancerous or cancerous lesions, aiding in early intervention and prevention of cervical cancer. This article provides a comprehensive overview of colposcopy, including its purpose, process, benefits, and what women can expect. By addressing common concerns and misconceptions, the discussion aims to empower women with knowledge about this vital procedure and its role in safeguarding reproductive health.
