Question 1

diagnosed with  squamous metaplasia w/ chronic cervicitis and positive hpv last yr. do u think this would develop into cancer within a yr ?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: It usually takes 5-30 years for such changes to progress to cancer.  Regular medical follow-up catches these before they become dangerous, so if you follow your doctor's advice, you needn't worry. Speak with the doctor caring for the problem and follow her or his advice about follow-up exams and testing.

Question 2

my fianc who had cin 2 as a result of "high" risk hpv.  she had biopsy and eventually the leap procedure. results alsoindicated acute chronic cervicitis. is the cervicitis due to the hpv or separate?

Accepted Answer

Acute and Chronic: Most causes of cervicitis include sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis. Hpv also puts you at risk for cervicitis. There is an increased risk of chronic cervicitis with multiple sex patners or with a past history of stds.
Cervicitis may be due to  injury or irritation from chemicals found in douches or allergies to spermicides or latex found in condoms.

Question 3

high risk hpv. first abnormal pap led biopsy result showed cin1 (condyloma). 6 month followup shows chronic cervicitis with no dyspl. pls advise. ?

Accepted Answer

Repeat PAPs: Follow your doctor's advice for repeat pap testing. It is important to do that to catch a potential worsening of the lesion.

Accepted Answer

Question 5

what is the treatment of chronic cervicitis?

Accepted Answer

Cevicitis: That depends upon the cause. Many cases are due to sexually transmitted infections. Non-infectious causes can include intrauterine devices, contraceptive diaphragms, and allergic reactions to spermicides or latex condoms. Many of the std ones are due to hpv. This needs full discussion after careful assessment by your gynecologist.

Question 6

can infertility be caused by chronic cervicitis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Chronic cervicitis is an inflammation that can obstruct the cervix, blocking sperm.  It can be treated with antibiotics.  Insemination is often useful to bypass the obstruction.

Question 7

can hormonal imbalance cause chronic cervicitis? thanks.

Accepted Answer

No: It has nothing to do with that, cervicitis can be caused by an infection or chronic irritation, your doc can do a colposcopy and biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and there are various treatment options if necessary, please see your gyn.

Question 8

i have an reactive squamous metaplasia and chronic cervicitis. bad?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: What were your pap and hpv results?  Continue to have regular pap testing.  Neither squamous metaplasia nor chronic cervicitis in themselves have immediate serious consequences.

Question 9

what does it mean, transformation zone and squamous metaplasia with reactive changes. acute and chronic cervicitis?

Accepted Answer

Follow-up: Rapid rate of metaplastic change within the transformation zone is a significant risk factor for the development of low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL).  This is often caused by an HPV infection that often goes away on its own. However because the transformation zone of the cervical epithelium is recognized as the site of origin of precarcinoma &amp; carcinoma this should be followed.

Question 10

smear test was ok, bacteriological one too, i sill have chronic cervicitis. what could  be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Not clear: Which smear test ? Pap smear ? When you say bacteriological, what do you mean ? Were the cultures taken ? In any event, this could all be due to the virus, or chlamydia, which are not going to show in cultures.
