Week 4: Cervix Flashcards

1
Q

Cervical pathology basics

A

90% of cervical pathology falls into three categories

  1. Acute and chronic cervicitis
  2. endocervical polyps
  3. cervical epithelial abnormalities
    • squamous atypia
    • squamous dysplasia
    • carcinoma: Squamous cell and adenocarcinoma

Q

What is Acute and chronic cervicitis

A
  • Cervical transformation zone undergoes changes at menarche with estrogen increase and exposure to acidic vaginal fluid
  • Endocervical glandular epithelium transformed to squamous epithelium: Squamous metaplasia
    • epithelium glycogenated; substrate for organisms
    • Acute and chronic inflammation increase
  • Cervix colonized by nonpathogenic bacteria
    • endogenous aerobes and anaerobes, lactobacilli, streptococci, staphylococci, enterococci, E. coli
