ABSTRACT

Colposcopy is nowadays a habitual tool applied to the routine gynecological exploration. The terminology for the normal and abnormal colposcopic findings has changed according with the time and the new knowledge about the low genital tract diseases. Gynecologists must be aware of this terminology for a correct application in diagnosis, therapeutics and papers on findings and results. It is necessary that the whole medical community around the world applies the same terminology in order to have a better communication.
