About this trial
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.

sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of pre-malignant cervical lesions among women
Patients will be observed for any immediate discomfort or minor complications such as spotting, mild cramping, or vaginal irritation following VIA, colposcopy, or biopsy. All patients will be advised on post-procedure care, including avoiding vaginal douching, sexual activity, or use of tampons for a few days, if a biopsy will be performed. Results of the VIA, colposcopy, and histopathology will be explained to the patients, and appropriate follow-up or referral will be arranged for those with CIN 2, CIN 3, or carcinoma. Patients will be instructed to report any unusual bleeding, pain, or discharge immediately to the clinic.
