Significance of diagnostic of hpv testing and cytoscopic studies in the aspect of gynecological screening detecting cervical pathology in women

The purpose of this article was to identify the diagnostic significance of HPV testing and cytoscopic examination in terms of cervical pathology. In the course of this study during 2020-2021. 10,716 women aged 25-65 years were examined, who did not present complaints, indicating gynecological pathology and did not have a history of erosive lesions of the cervix. In the course of the study, the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic significance of the HPV PCR test and cytoscopic examination were calculated in terms of detecting cervical pathology in women during the screening examination. A colposcopic examination was considered a method of verifying the diagnosis. HPV by PCR in the cervical mucosa during the screening process is detected in 23.77% of women. The frequency of infection decreases with increasing age of the subjects. The combination of positive HPV and cytology as a risk marker does not increase the diagnostic value of primary screening based on the use of methods in isolation.
