Abstract
As a result of complex clinical and endoscopic studies, 78 (32.2%) women turned out
to be practically healthy. In 164 (67.8%) women, certain diseases were detected, including: a nd
exocervicitis in 44 (27%), endometriosis of the cervix in 9 (5.5%), pseudo-erosion and erosion of
the cervix 35 (21.3%) , cervical polyp in 6 (3.7%), simple and partially overlapped ectopia in 20
(12.2%), old ruptures and scars of the cervix in 8 (4.9%), narrowing and infection of the cervix
in 5 ( 3%), cervical papilloma in 4 (2.4%), cervicitis caused by herpetic and fungal infection in
29 (17.7%), leukoplakia in 4 (2.4%) women. Given the clinical and echographic prognosis,
women who had significant discrepancies in the diagnosis were assigned to the group of active
observation by an oncogynecologist.

colposcopy, human papillomavirus infection.
The invariably urgent problem of practical gynecology is still the task of effective treatment and
rehabilitation of patients with pathology of the cervix in order to restore the normal
morphofunctional relationships of the tissues of the cervix, its barrier function, prevent ascending
infection of the genitals, the occurrence of cancer of this localization, and also due to the severity
of the caused concomitant pathology of reproductive health disorders in women.
In recent years, Uzbekistan has seen a steady increase in infectious and inflammatory diseases of
the vagina and cervix, of which 23.2% are endocervicitis, in 30% of cases, cervicitis
manifestations are observed against the background of ectopia. In inflammatory diseases, the
processes of maturation and desquamation of the epithelium are disrupted, which creates
conditions predisposing to the development of cervical dysplasia. According to I.S. Sidirova and
S.A. Levakov, in every seventh woman, cervical cancer (CC) occurs against the background of
chronic inflammation, trauma, and a sharp deformation of the cervix.
In recent years, the diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with the human
papillomavirus (HPV) has attracted special attention due to the sharp increase in the incidence,
significant contagiousness and high oncogenic potential of this pathogen.
It is known that the primary factor in the development of cervical cancer is human
papillomavirus (HPV). After each change of partner, the risk of infection with genital types of
HPV is 10-15%. HPV types 16, 18, 31 and 45, highly oncogenic viruses, are associated with
more than 80% of all cases of invasive cervical cancer that occurs against the background of a

women from 15 to 25 years old and decreases with age. Along with this, the elimination of HPV
and the regression of HPV-associated pathology in young women is faster than in women of the
older age group. However, according to data, there has been an increase in the incidence of
cervical cancer among young women, in particular, the incidence in women under the age of 20
was 7% per year.
Cervical leukoplakia (CLC) is a benign disease but may be a predisposing factor for the
52 A journal of the AMERICAN Journal of Pediatric Medicine and Health Sciences www. grnjournal.us
development of precancer and cervical cancer. Until now, the issue of its pathogenesis, whether
it is benign or malignant, remains controversial. In recent years, an assumption has been made
about the viral nature of LSM. Although this pathology is not common, malignant transformation
of stratified squamous epithelium, according to V.N. Prilepskaya, observed in 31.6% of patients
with LSM. In this regard, timely diagnosis of leukoplakia is necessary for the prevention and
reduction of the incidence of precancer and cervical cancer.
According to a number of authors, important factors contributing to the occurrence of LSM are a
long-term inflammatory process supported by a violation of the anatomical structure of the
cervix, as well as a history of various destructive methods of influencing the cervix:
diathermocoagulation, cryodestruction, CO2 laser vaporization.
The presented data once again confirm that the ctological research method currently remains the
leading one in the diagnosis of diseases of the cervix. Unfortunately, there is still an erroneous
opinion among gynecologists about the dangers of an in-depth cytological examination of the
cervix in pregnant women due to possible pregnancy complications.
The relevance of the problem of treating benign diseases of the cervix is due to the widespread
pathology of the cervix, which occurs, according to V.N. Prilepskaya, in 10-15% of women of
reproductive age. In addition, it is known that benign processes may precede malignant
neoplasms of the cervix, the incidence of which is currently, according to the studies of V.I.
Krasnopolsky has no downward trend.
Inflammatory diseases of the cervix, accompanying most background processes, were considered
by many researchers as etiological factors of possible malignancy. In the works of E.N.
Kaukhova, A.Yu. Lugueva, et al. examined 2119 patients with various non-tumor diseases of the
cervix (ectopia, simple leukoplakia, hypertrophy, cervical deformity, nabothian cysts,
endometriosis). The significance for the diagnosis and choice of the method of treatment of
ultrasound of the pelvic organs, the use of PCR, cytological, bacterioscopic, bacteriological
Methods
has been proved. In the studies of I.S. Sidorova, M.N. Zholobova et al. found that 48%
of women of reproductive age with combined benign diseases of the uterus (uterine fibroids,
adenomyosis and endometrial hyperplasia) were diagnosed with cervical pathology. Research
Results
S.A. Levakova, A.G. Kedrova et al. made it possible to draw the following conclusions:
Modern colposcopic diagnosis at the primary gynecological appointment is a highly informative
screening method for moderate and severe cervical dysplasia, reduces the time from diagnosis to
treatment by 2-4 weeks, and also reduces the number of visits by 1-2 to the doctor, with an
average increase in the time for the initial examination up to 7 minutes. The sensitivity of the
colposcopic method was 73.2%, the specificity was 64.1%, and its accuracy was 69%. In the
presence of signs of invasion identified during colposcopy, the diagnosis coincided with the data
of a cytological study in 80% of cases.
Author Vaganova S.E. The advantage of using epigen intim spray for cryodestruction of genital
warts has been proven. The effectiveness of galenophyllipt in burn erosion of the cervix was
studied by the staff of the Institute of Toxicology under the supervision of Doctor of Medical
Sciences V.K. Sukhankin. On the model of cervical erosion, a comparative evaluation of the
effectiveness of galenophyllipt and the registered drug Solkovagin, manufactured by Solco Basel
AG, was carried out.
Ectopia of the cervix - displacement of the boundaries of the cylindrical epithelium on the
vaginal part of the cervix - is detected in 38.8% of the female population and in 49% of
gynecological patients. The hormonal factor in the genesis of precancerous diseases of the cervix
is widely discussed. Experimental data show that the induction of cancer under the influence of
the human papillomavirus is potentiated by the action of estrogens when the number of actively
proliferating cells increases sharply. The frequency of traumatic injuries of the cervix ranges
from 5.6 to 30%. A number of researchers believe that the infectious processes of the genitals
caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 play a role in the development of precancerous and
cancerous diseases of the cervix. The continuing frequency of pathological conditions of the
53 A journal of the AMERICAN Journal of Pediatric Medicine and Health Sciences www. grnjournal.us
cervix, the tendency to a long, recurrent course, the possibility of transformation make it very
important to search for both new effective and safe methods of influencing the pathological
focus, and additional factors in order to increase the effectiveness of treatment.
The main purpose of the cytological study is to identify the morphological features of cells that
characterize the pathological process. The method makes it possible to assess the structure and
cellular level of damage to tissues that have fallen into the smear-print, and allows you to
identify precancerous changes 3-5 years before the development of cervical cancer.
It is known that pregnancy is a risk factor for the development of human papillomavirus
infection (PVI) and contributes to the active replication and persistence of HPV. At the same
time, the latent form of PVI can turn into subclinical and clinical forms; the clinical features of
PVI depend on the type of virus (low and high oncogenic). In patients with highly oncogenic
types (16th, 18th), the manifestations of PVI are localized mainly on the cervix in the form of a
flat condyloma or the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. With low-oncogenic
types (6th, 11th), changes in the cervix are less common, and are determined in the vulva and
vagina in the form of genital warts. During pregnancy, visible warts often recur, grow
progressively and can reach gigantic proportions. The number of cases of transmission of HPV
from mother to fetus, according to different researchers, ranges from 4 to 87%, depending on the
sensitivity of the diagnostic methods used. HPV has been described as capable of infecting
trophoblast cells, leading to spontaneous abortions.
The term "dysplasia" is a morphological and at the same time a clinical concept and includes the
process of proliferation of cells with the appearance of atypia in them, especially nuclear, with a
subsequent change in the entire structure of the epithelium, the loss of a normal layered structure.
Depending on the intensity of cell proliferation, the severity of structural and cellular atypia in
the epithelial layer, 3 degrees of dysplasia are distinguished: mild, moderate and severe,
characterized by the appearance of atypical cells, first in the lower third, then in the lower two
thirds and, finally, in the entire third, then in the lower two-thirds and, finally, the entire
thickness of the stratified squamous epithelium, including more superficial sections. The
condition in which the expansion of atypical cells continues beyond the basement membrane is
called invasive cancer.
The problem of diagnosis and treatment of benign diseases of the cervix is due to their steady
growth and significant share in the structure of gynecological morbidity. According to T.A.
Oboscalova, I.N. Kononova and other diseases of the cervix account for 61.2% in the structure of
gynecological diseases. In 83% of cases, the pathology of the cervix is accompanied by a
violation of vaginal dysbiosis and immune dysfunctions, which is consistent with the data of
other researchers.
Colposcopy is one of the leading methods for examining patients with cervical pathology.
Currently, the International Classification of Colposcopic Terms, approved at the 14th World
Congress of the International Federation of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (IFCPC), held in
July 2011 in Rio de Janeiro, is used to interpret colposcopic pictures. This colposcopic study also
has a predictive value of 64.6% with a sensitivity of 88.4% and a specificity of 43.2%. The most
specific features are acetowhite epithelium (prognostic value - 91.7%), iodine-positive mosaic
and punctuation (77.8%), atypical transformation zone (77.4%).
Diagnosis of precancerous processes in the cervix is carried out in several stages. At the first
stage, an initial examination of women is carried out, which includes a thorough history taking,
physical examination, examination with gynecological mirrors, bimanual gynecological
examination, colposcopy, cytology of smears, analysis of vaginal smears to determine the flora.
Colposcopy (CS) is a highly informative, widely available and inexpensive method for
diagnosing diseases of the cervix (CC), vagina, and vulva, which significantly increases the
efficiency of examining women with gynecological pathology. Along with other modern
Methods
of examination, the CS allows you to choose the best ways to manage patients and
monitor the state of the epithelium of the cervix, vagina and vulva in various physiological
54 A journal of the AMERICAN Journal of Pediatric Medicine and Health Sciences www. grnjournal.us
periods of a woman's life, and can be used repeatedly. The main task of the CS is to identify
precancerous conditions of the cervical epithelium, which include dysplasia of the stratified
squamous epithelium (SSE) and endocervical glandular epithelium, which is initiated by the
human papillomavirus (HPV).
Extended CS - the most effective and common technique - examination of the epithelium using
various epithelial and vascular tests, which assess the response of tissues in response to treatment
with drug formulations. The technological chain of the CS includes examination of tissues under
different magnifications, using a filter, after treatment with acetic acid and Lugol solutions.
Each stage allows you to clarify colposcopic data, since the method is to a certain extent
subjective and requires sufficient training and qualifications.
The colposcope is an optical system mounted on a tripod (binocular loupe) with a directional
lighting system. It is recommended to use a binocular colposcope, since monocular devices and
digital devices without eyepieces have low research efficiency due to the inability to obtain a
three-dimensional three-dimensional picture.
With a pathological colposcopic picture (acetowhite epithelium, puncture, mosaic, dyskeratosis,
iodine-negative zone, the presence of atypical vessels), if invasive carcinoma is suspected during
colposcopy, as well as when cytological smears of types III, IV and V are obtained, a targeted
biopsy is performed followed by a histological examination of the biopsy .
Many clinicians involved in the problem of diagnosis and treatment of benign diseases of the
cervix note that against their background, deep naboth cysts are often detected in the thickness of
the cervix. According to V.N. Prilepskaya et al. Inadequate choice of treatment method in the
presence of a large number of treatment methods in the presence of a large number of cysts or
their deep location affects the effectiveness of treatment. Until now, there is no consensus among
clinicians regarding the tactics of managing patients with another pathology of the cervix -
cervical canal polyps. Most authors consider it necessary to perform hysteroscopy, polypectomy
in the endometrium, as well as the possible location of the pedicle of the cervical canal polyp in
the uterine cavity. In recent years, a number of works have appeared on the use of ultrasound to
detect cysts of the cervix and polyps of the cervical canal. However, ultrasound does not fully
evaluate from the point of view of choosing a method of treatment for these types of pathology
of the cervix.
In women with a healthy cervix, the material is obtained from three sites: from the exocervix,
from the site on the border of the stratified squamous epithelium and the cylindrical epithelium
of the cervical canal from the lower third of the endocervix. To do this, use special brushes
(cervix bronch), spatulas, grooved probes, Volkmann spoons.
It is fundamentally important that colposcopic and cytological studies do not allow assessing the
morphological changes in the epithelium in its deep layers, its deep layers, therefore, the
histological method plays a decisive role in assessing morphological changes. If the histological
Conclusion
shows mild, moderate or pronounced dysplasia (CIN I, II, III), in these cases it is
recommended to perform a separate diagnostic curettage of the mucous membrane of the
cervical canal and the body of the uterus with a histological examination of the scrapings.
Thus, diseases of the cervix continue to be an urgent problem of gynecology and the most
common pathology of the female genital area. As studies by gynecologists, hygienists and other
specialists have shown, a woman's body reacts to adverse environmental factors with the
emergence of a number of adaptive reactions, which can later turn into a pathomorphological
state.
Conclusions.
Thus, colposcopy is recommended for widespread implementation in the practice of obstetricians
and gynecologists in order to carry out comprehensive diagnostic measures. Due to the use of
digital video systems with software in modern colposcopes, the effectiveness of this diagnostic
55 A journal of the AMERICAN Journal of Pediatric Medicine and Health Sciences www. grnjournal.us
Method
is significantly increased, which allows for adequate timely treatment.
Comprehensive diagnostic measures with the inclusion of colposcopy in polyclinics,
gynecological hospitals, more in-depth studies carried out in specialized oncological institutions
are promising and expedient, as they improve the accuracy of diagnosing diseases of the cervix,
provide adequate timely treatment and provide secondary prevention of cervical cancer.
