Transvaginal Echographic Diagnosis of Chronic Cervicitis

Introduction Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the lower genitalia in women of reproductive age continue to occupy one of the leading places in the overall structure of gynecological morbidity, their frequency varies between 65-80% and does not tend to decrease. Various surgical interventions, traumas, abortions, early sexual debut contribute to a change in the microbiocenosis of the vaginal biotope, the selection of multiresistant strains of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms, the development of vulvovaginitis, exoand endocervicitis. Endocervicitis can be caused by nonspecific specific pathogens and is more common in women of reproductive age. Inflammatory reaction in endocervix depends on the nature of the pathogen and the reactivity of the organism. Endocervicitis not diagnosed and untreated acute phase becomes chronic. Endoscopic methods do not allow visualizing the middle layers of endocervix and cervical stroma, and therefore the diagnosis of cervicitis is based on indirect data [1, 2].
