At what diseases are shown smears on cytology

A smear from the cervical canal allows the doctor to generalize the idea of the microflora of the channel. It is this analysis that makes it possible to appoint competent and effective treatment. Smears on cytology are usually performed by two basic medical methods: sowing the material and microscopy. The first method is of great diagnostic value.

Smears on cytology are taken by doctors not earlier than twenty-four hours after syringing, because this procedure before sowing significantly reduces the number of microorganisms. Normally, the flora should contain lactobacilli in a quantitative composition of at least 10x7. In addition, it can have an E. coli up to 102x, enterococcus up to 10x2, yeast fungus up to 10x2 CFU / ml.

Smears on cytology can determine the presence of opportunistic strains of bacteria, which often cause a strong inflammatory reaction. For example, staphylococci, saprophytes, E. coli, enterococci and so on.

Even the appearance of the cells of the epithelium of internal female genital organs can tell the doctor about many things. For example, the increased quantitative composition of acidophilic cells with a very dark nucleus indicates the presence of estrogen in the body during the ovulation period, the vaginal exfoliating cells can determine the exact time of ovulation in a woman or even reveal a lack of estrogen, which leads to atrophy of the entire epithelium of the diseased vagina.

When examining a woman with a smear from her cervical canal, an experienced doctor will be able to determine any cancer of the body and cervix due to the presence of certain tumor cells. Experts carefully analyze the size, location and shape of the present atypical cells. Such a smear also allows the doctor to recognize the presence of a serious infection of the female vagina.

When the analysis is normal, the cervical canal is completely sterile. If the smear for cytology showed a significant amount of white blood cells, then this indicates inflammation. The causes of the inflammatory process and the violation of microflora directly in the cervical can be: hormonal changes (lack of estrogen, which is often the period of menopause), complete failure to comply with basic rules of hygiene, metabolic disorders, any inflammatory processes in the genito-urinary organs, the negative effects of anti-inflammatory and antibacterial Therapy.

As a rule, the development of the inflammatory process depends entirely on the characteristics of the pathogen itself and the general condition of the entire female immune system. It can be both acute and neglected chronic inflammation.

In many women after menopause and in patients of reproductive age, the boundary line is localized virtually within the outermost throat. As the statistical data say, cancer disease occurs precisely from the transformation zone. For these reasons, it is very important to take a smear for cytology, and the delivery of this analysis must be done by every woman regularly.

When a preventive examination, as a rule, the smear material from the cervical canal is more expedient to receive directly from the vaginal part (from the surface) of the cervix and from the walls of the endocervix itself.
