Retrospective Study of the Incidence and Treatment of Preneoplasic Cervical Lesions

Abstract

Cervical cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in women worldwide. The aim of the paper was to evaluate the prevalence of precancerous cervix lesions and their management. The retrospective study was performed over a period of six years. We observed an increased incidence between 26-45 years, coinciding with the peak of female sexual life. 50.81% of patients had abnormal vaginal bleeding,11.35 % presented with modified leucorrhea, and 9.72% for abdominal pain. The main procedure performed for this pathology was cold knife conization followed by endocervix curettage in 52.43% of cases. Cervical dysplasia has a higher incidence in low/middle-income countries because of lifestyle factors, which includes also the participation in adequate screening programs. These results point out the importance of prevention programs, including vaccination and screening.
