Colpocytogram

A colpocytogram is a test that is performed to evaluate the condition of the cervix and vagina. This diagnostic method is used in gynecology and obstetrics to identify diseases and pathologies that can affect pregnancy and a woman’s health.

A colpocytogram involves examining the cells on the surface of the cervix. These cells are called epithelial cells and they are the basis for protecting the cervix from infection and other damage.

To perform a colpocytogram, the doctor uses a special instrument - a colposcope. It allows you to enlarge the image of the cervix and see the cells that are on its surface. Then the doctor assesses the condition of the cells and their number.

If the result of a colpocytogram reveals abnormalities, this may indicate the presence of various diseases. For example, an elevated white blood cell count may indicate an infection, and changes in cell shape may indicate cervical cancer.

However, a colpocytogram is not the only method for diagnosing cervical diseases. It can be used in combination with other methods such as ultrasound, biopsy and others.

In general, a colpocytogram is an important tool in diagnosing cervical diseases and other gynecological problems. It allows the doctor to obtain information about the state of the cells on the surface of the cervix and take the necessary measures to treat or prevent diseases.

Colpocytomagram. Colpotcilomagram is one of the gynecological examinations in which the doctor looks at the uterus along with the ovaries and the cervix.

The uterus consists of 3 layers:

Endometrium. The inner layer of the uterus, which receives a monthly blood supply. This layer is sometimes called the mucosa or endometrium. It is changes in this structure of the uterus that a colpocytogram can show. If there is no pregnancy, then the layer has a thickness of about 5 mm; if there is pregnancy, the layer protrudes higher and becomes about 20 mm. After childbirth, the thickness is exactly 5–6 mm, regardless of the presence of lactation and menstruation.

Myometrium. The middle muscle layer makes the uterus look like a fitness ball. There are two chambers in the thickness - left and right, they differ from each other only in the muscle layer. Also in the myometrium there are also fibers that differ in direction to different parts of the uterus, these are bundles of transverse and bundles of longitudinal fibers. The longitudinal fibers are directed along the body of the uterus and a pair of vessels extend in the middle; mainly work in the early phases of the cycle after ovulation. The transverse ones are responsible for contractions of the walls of the uterus, and are located around the circumference of the uterus, responsible for their walls. They are ready to work already in the second phase of the menstrual cycle, closer to menstruation. It is the woman’s hormonal system that stimulates active contractions, since the transverse fibers are closely connected with the hypothalamus. Among other things, this muscle layer contains external and internal fibers. Internal fibers contract the uterus itself. External fibers help make women feel pleasant; they push sperm into the uterus and are ready to contract it to remove it and fertilize it. This muscle layer is occupied by glands such as sebaceous glands. The myometrium can “respond” to the presence or absence of sex hormones and hormones
