VIA Versus Colposcopy

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) versus colposcopy in terms of sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of pre-malignant cervical lesions among women, and to assess the awareness of women regarding cervical cancer screening methods.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age from 25 to 65 years. * Patient undergoing cervical cancer screening using VIA and colposcopy. * Women with symptoms such as white discharge, post-coital bleeding, and intermenstrual bleeding. * Women with the clinically unhealthy cervix (erosion, bleeding on touch, simple leukoplakia, keratinization) * Women with Pap smear showing dysplasia. Exclusion Criteria: * • Pregnant women (if VIA or colposcopy is contraindicated). * Women with obvious invasive cervical cancer diagnosed previously. * Women who refuse to provide informed consent or are unable to cooperate with the examination. * Women having active vaginal bleeding. * Any past treatment for cervical lesions.
