Keywords: Cervical cytology, Cervical lesions, Dysplasia, Neoplasia intracervical

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to determine the pattern of morbidity and mortality of cervical lesions in the female population of the rural area (Tababela - Ecuador), in the period 2014 - 2015. A descriptive, cross-sectional, retro-prospective design study was carried out and applied, using a self-elaborated socio-sanitary survey. Cytological samples were taken from 265 patients in two years of study. For data tabulation, the SPSS 20 statistical program
was used and the analysis was carried out with descriptive statistics. The average age of the respondents was 37 years; 51.3% were married; 79% self-identified as mixed race; 33.2% had a low level of education; 53.6% their monthly income was less than 500 dollars and their occupation, housework. Sexual activity tends to be normal starting at age 20; 77% to 82% reported that they have had up to 3 sexual partners; more than 90% used some contraceptive method and 78% are multiparas. Cytological reports revealed diverse cervical uterine pathology with a predominance of pathogens such as Candida albicans, Gardnerella vaginalis and Trichomona, in addition, fourteen cases of intra-cervical neoplasia in ages between 20-69 years. The population studied suffers from inequities and is presented as vulnerable to the development of a preventable disease such as cervical cancer.
