| description | Cervical cancer, or carcinoma of the cervix, is a disease that has caused great impact in all social spheres, contributing to the high rates of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, including malignant neoplasms that develop in the lower fibromuscular portion of the uterus. It is a disease that is preventable if women undergo timely check-ups. The most important part of a gynecological check-up is prevention, which allows us to give timely treatments and have prophylactic management to avoid malignant lesions caused by the human papillomavirus. In this sense, colposcopy continues to be important in the timely detection of risk factors and lesions that could become malignant. The purpose of this work is to reflect on the importance of colposcopy and show some results of this test in women from the municipality of Cumanayagua, in the province of Cienfuegos, Cuba. |
