Execution of the procedure
The vaginal speculum introduced extension, which allows access to the cervix. Viewing the cervix with colposcope. The resulting image is three-dimensional, the magnification is 50x. You can also use colpomicroscope to increase magnification to 400x. Observation should be performed three times:
1. Before removing the vaginal fluid.
2. After washing with 0.9% NaCl.

• abnormal colposcopic images (Group 2)
• unclear colposcopic images (group 3)
• other colposcopic images (group 4)
Indications and possibilities
Colposcopy is an established method (according to the Polish Gynecological Society), verification of abnormal cytology (LSIL, HSIL, ASC, ASC-US):
1. Detection of precancerous lesions of the cervix - it is possible
to detect approximately 60-80% of benign lesions, without posing a risk of dysplasia or cancer.
2. Detection of early cancer of the cervix (CIN III - curable stage). The sensitivity in detecting precancerous lesions and early cervical cancer is 81-97% (in combination with cytological and histological examination to 100%).
3. Slices suspicious lesions before elective surgery (the extent of
the surgery, the definition of completeness to remove the changes), it is also possible to identify the pathogen - bacteria, trichomonas and fungi (yeast), herpes virus, human papilloma virus.
