Abstract

The diagnosis of intraepithelial lesions and carcinoma of the cervix is performed by combining three methods, namely cytology, colposcopy, and histology. The present study represents a retrospective and descriptive cross-sectional
epidemiological study of patients’ charts with cytological and colposcopic findings compatible with HPV infection, at the Potengi Clinic, in the year 2012 (Natal/RN). We analyzed 111 medical records of patients diagnosed with HPV and
the data collected were age, menarche, the onset of sexual life, marital status, sexual partners, contraceptive methods used and results of cytological, colposcopic and histopathological exams. Patients had a mean age of 30 years, most of whom were married (71.2%), menarche at 12-year-old, and sexual debut at approximately 17 years, with a mean of 9.4 partners. About 38% of them use oral contraceptives, 37% do not use any method and only 10% use condoms. The concordance between cytology and colposcopy and between cytology and histology was very significant (rs=0,953; p<0,05). From the analysis of the present study, it can be concluded that the association of cytological, colposcopic and histological methods is more efficient in the diagnosis of lesions caused by viruses such as HPV and carcinoma
and should, therefore, be used together.
