Cervical dysplasia
A pathological change in the epithelium of the vaginal part of the cervix, which refers to precancerous processes. In the early stages, it is a reversible disease.
Cervical dysplasia occurs due to atypical changes in the cells of the multilayer squamous epithelium that lines the vaginal part of the cervix.
Causes
Human papillomavirus (HPV), especially oncogenic types (16 and 18).
Immunodeficiency (chronic diseases, stress, medications).
Chronic inflammatory processes of the genital organs.
Smoking (increases the risk by 4 times).
Hormonal changes (menopause, pregnancy).
Cervical injuries (including after childbirth).
Symptoms:
Cervical dysplasia is often asymptomatic.
When an infection is attached, itching, burning, and abnormal discharge may occur.
There may be minor spotting after sexual intercourse or the use of tampons.
After-effects
The higher the degree of dysplasia, the greater the risk of cell malignancy. This is especially true for severe dysplasia (CIN III), when all layers of the epithelium are affected. However, with timely treatment, dysplasia can be completely eliminated, reducing the risk of cancer.
Cervical dysplasia can also be accompanied by other diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital warts, which exacerbates the clinical picture and requires an integrated approach in diagnosis and treatment.
Лечение
Conservative treatment:
In the early stages, with mild CIN I dysplasia in women under 30 years of age, a wait-and-see tactic with regular cytological examinations (every 6 months) is possible, since dysplasia can regress on its own.
Surgical treatment:
In cases of disease progression or severe dysplasia, surgical treatment is used. Surgical intervention may include the destruction of atypical cells using cryotherapy, electrocoagulation, laser or radio wave therapy. In severe cases, when a large area is affected, conization is performed — the removal of a section of the cervix in the shape of a cone. In extreme cases, cervical amputation is indicated, especially if invasive cancer is suspected.
