What is Colposcopy
Simple and painless, colposcopy is the examination of screening second level, carried out to ascertain the real significance of pre-cancerous lesions emerged from the Pap test and attributable to a tumor of the uterine cervix.
For the execution of the colposcopy, gynecologists use an instrument equipped with lenses at various magnifications, similar to binoculars, which takes the name of colposcope; in many cases, then, in addition to the colposcope, they also resort to the use of two specific solutions - acetic acid or Lugol's liquid - which, applied to the internal surface of the uterine cervix, allow a better visualization, through the aforementioned colposcope.
