What is Vulvoscopy?
Vulvoscopy is a non-invasive examination performed with a colposcope, a device that magnifies the images of the vulva, allowing for a precise evaluation. This procedure is crucial for the early detection of precancerous lesions, infections, genital warts, or other anomalies that may affect women's health. It is often requested when symptoms such as pain, itching, or visible skin changes in the vulva occur.
