Study Notes
Cervical Inflammation
- Found in almost all women, but usually has little clinical consequence.
- Can be caused by infections such as gonococci, chlamydiae, mycoplasmas, and herpes simplex virus, leading to acute or chronic cervicitis.
- Important to identify association with upper genital tract disease, complications during pregnancy, and sexual transmission.
Benign Exophytic Growths
- Arise from the endocervix.
- Cause irregular vaginal bleeding.
- Characterized as soft, mucoid lesions composed of loose fibrous stroma containing dilated, mucus-secreting endocervical glands, often accompanied by inflammation.
Endocervical Polyps
- Benign condition characterized by closely packed proliferation of endocervical glands without intervening stroma.
- Caused by progestin administration, such as during pregnancy, postpartum period, or oral contraceptive pills administration.
Premalignant and Malignant Neoplasms of the Uterine Cervix
- One of the most common cancers in females, especially in developing countries.
- Peak incidence occurs at 45 years of age.
