ABSTRACT

The vulvoscopy, vaginoscopy and high resolution anoscopy are complementary techniques for the exploration of lower genital tract. The colposcopic examination methodology includes the vulva and vagina as an integral part of it. Its aim is to locate and topographic diagnosis of lesions. Colposcopy is not diagnosed. The main indication is secondary prevention (early diagnosis) of cancer. These techniques are of great clinical value, with implications for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. Colposcopy manifestation of these lesions in different anatomical areas are considered a subclinical disease.
