Introduction to lesions of primitive squamous epithelium of the cervix

I believe that many female compatriots are very concerned about gynecological diseases. Prevention and treatment are knowledge that we must master and understand. Many female friends suffer from cervical diseases and suffer from illness all year round. Today we will introduce the relevant content of primitive squamous epithelial lesions of the cervix. I hope this helps you all.

Cervical squamous cell lesions (CIN) are precancerous lesions of the cervix. CIN is a general term for a group of diseases, which includes cervical atypical hyperplasia and cervical carcinoma in situ. Precancerous lesions are reversible for a considerable period of time. It takes about 8 to 10 years, or even 20 years, for precancerous lesions to develop into the invasive stage. The term CIN was a pathological diagnosis that was widely used in the 1970s and 1980s. However, a large number of studies in the past 20 years have revealed that cervical cancer and precancerous lesions are related to HPV infection. Further studies have found that CIN is not a single continuous lesion of varying degrees, but can be divided into two types of lesions with significantly different clinical pathological processes: low-grade lesions and high-grade lesions.

1. What are the clinical features of cervical squamous epithelial lesions?

The lesions always occur at the squamocolumnar junction (transition zone), so if the transition zone is not seen in the section, it is necessary to inform the clinician;

Most LSILs regress, with only a few continuing to progress, while HSILs are often accompanied by high-risk HPV infection and are more likely to develop into cancer. The time it takes for SIL to develop into cancer can be as long as several years to 20 years.

Although it is very important to distinguish between LSIL and HSIL, in terms of tissue morphology, the two are continuous lesions without a clear dividing line. There are always individual cases at the intersection, making it difficult for the diagnostician to make a decision. ?

(II) What are the principles for the treatment of cervical squamous epithelial lesions?

Based on the cytology of the cervical smear, decide whether to do a colposcopy and biopsy, as well as HPV DNA testing, and then decide based on the above results whether to follow up, cryosurgery, laser excision or cone excision.

After the detailed introduction of the above-mentioned primitive squamous epithelial lesions of the cervix, we have a better understanding of the female cervix, so we must have a scientific understanding of the disease, take care of our bodies, prevent the occurrence of the disease, and develop a healthy lifestyle. If you want to know more details, you can consult the relevant doctors in a regular hospital.
