ULTRASONOGRAPHIC ASPECTS OF THE CERVIX IN CHRONIC CERVICITIS

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the structural changes of the cervix using the ultrasound examination. The studied group consisted of women aged between 21 and 75 years. 30,43% of the structural changes were represented by glandular dilatation. Other aspects observed were microcalfications (9,75%), and one endocervical polyp. All these changes are characteristic of chronic inflammation called cervicitis. The distribution of cases by age group showed that 41,46% belonged to the 41-50 age group and 36,58% to the 31-40 age group. The fewest cases (9,76%) were in the 21-30 age group. Regarding the medical history 80,49% of the patients had births or abortion in the past.
