The Yin-Yang theory holds that disease is a result of an imbalance between yin and yang which leads to the hyperactivity or hypoactivity of yin and yang. The occurrence and the development of a disease are also related to zheng qi (body resistance or antipathogenic factors) and xie qi (pathogenic factors). The Yin-Yang theory can be used to generalize the interacting relations between body resistance and antipathogenic factors.
1 Colposcopy is a procedure used by physicians that provides a magnified and illuminated view of the vulva, vaginal walls, and uterine cervix. 2  This procedure is often done to evaluate an abnormal appearing cervix or an abnormal Pap smear result.
Generally, a LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) is recommended for women who have had a Pap smear that showed abnormal, potentially precancerous cells. Following such an abnormal Pap smear, a colposcopy (a special close-up examination of your cervix) and a cervical biopsy are often performed.
