CAN you please explain my doubt on colposcopy
NHS COLPOSCPY GUIDE
Women referred with moderate or severe dyskaryosis (high grade) on
their test result are at significant risk of CIN 2 or 3, even in the presence
of normal colposcopy. Biopsy should be undertaken in > 95% of
women with high grade abnormalities (see section 6.3). If treatment is not
undertaken, close surveillance with colposcopy and cytology every six
months is advised. If at follow-up a high grade cytological abnormality
persists, excisional treatment is recommended (90%).

Its not treatment its biopsy should be taken even if colposcopy is normal and treatment recommended for persistent abnormality so repeat smear should be correct???
