O que tomar para inflamação no papanicolau / Prevenção ginecológica? - Dra Roberta Severiano

Is it normal for inflammation to appear on a Pap smear? "Doctor, I have inflammation on my Pap smear! Every Pap smear I get comes back the same. I don't know what to do anymore! I've tried a ton of ointments and pills, and nothing helps; it always brings inflammation!" So I tell you: it'll keep coming! Inflammation on a Pap smear is normal. It's inflammation on yours, mine, and every woman we know. This condition shouldn't be confused with an infection. Infection means that there are bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms causing disease in the uterus or vagina. Inflammation, on the other hand, means the presence of immune cells. The vagina is constantly subjected to microaggressions, whether due to its natural acidity, sexual intercourse, or hormonal changes. These microaggressions cause the vaginal cells to shed, and for them to regenerate, immune cells—inflammatory cells—appear. That's why the doctor who examined her test under the microscope declared it inflammation: because he saw defense cells! "But, Doctor, this story that every Pap smear comes with inflammation isn't true... I've had other tests that didn't show inflammation!" It's true. In some tests, inflammation in the Pap smear appears as the presence of reactive and reparative cells, or class II. All these results mean the same thing! They are reactive cells because they are reacting to a micro-insult, and reparative cells because they are repairing the vagina that was attacked. In other words: they are inflammatory cells! And class II is due to the classification that a researcher named Georgios Papanicolaou invented, which also means inflammation in the Pap smear.
