Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Cytopathology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cervical lesions pose a significant health concern.
  • Early detection is crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes.
  • Understanding prevalence in young populations is vital for targeted screening strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of cervical lesions in young adults.
  • To analyze lesion types across different age groups.
  • To identify risk factors associated with cervical cancer in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 897,900 Pap smears.
  • Cases categorized into three age groups: 0-17, 18-34, and 35+.
  • Evaluation of parameters including negative results, atypia, CIN I, CIN II, CIN III, and invasive carcinoma.

Main Results:

  • Cervical lesions were found to be significant among young teenagers (0-17 age group).
  • Prevalence of cervical lesions is notable in the young adult population (18-34 age group).
  • Early sexual activity, multiple partners, and infectious diseases were associated with cervical cancer cases.

Conclusions:

  • Cervical lesions are a significant issue in young adults, necessitating regular screening.
  • Young adults, especially teenagers, would benefit from targeted education and routine Pap smear screening.
  • Screening is highly recommended for high-risk young adults to mitigate the impact of cervical cancer.
