Features of cervical polyps in women of different age groups

Abstract

Purpose of the study. To study the main factors and features of the development of cervical polyp in women of different age groups.

Materials and methods of research. In connection with the set goal, we conducted a clinical and laboratory examination of 146 women at the State Research Institute of Aging and Pregnancy of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tajikistan. The examined women, depending on their age, were divided into the following groups: Group I – 29 (19,9%) women of active reproductive age; Group II – 61 (41,7%) women of late reproductive age; Group III – 56 (38,4%) women of perimenopausal age

Research results and discussion. During a gynecological examination of women of active reproductive age, in most cases (25 – 86.2±6.4%) polyps were single and in 4 (13.8±4.7%) patients there were multiple polyps. We found an increase in the frequency of multiple polyps in women of late reproductive age (15 – 24.6±5.5%), and single polyps occurred in 46 (75.4±5.5). Analysis of the number of cervical polyps revealed that in the group of women of perimenopausal age, single polyps also predominated: 48 (85.7±4.7%) and only 8 (14.3±4.7%) had multiple polyps. In all examined patients, polyps were combined with pathological conditions of the cervix, which were confirmed both visually and by colposcopic examination.

Conclusion. The studies showed the multifactorial nature of cervical pathology with polyps, a large number of pregnancies, childbirths, artificial and spontaneous abortions followed by instrumental curettage of the uterine cavity and long-term use of the IUD. Clinical manifestations and treatment tactics for cervical polyps depend on the woman’s age, her hormonal levels and concomitant diseases.
