Effect of Obesity in Persistent or Remission in Postmenopausal Women with Atypical Cervical Cytology.

CONCLUSION: Obesity was not found to correlate strongly with the progression or remission of CIN. Obese postmenopausal women may still be affected by a persistence of the disease. Continuing cervical cytology monitoring should be recommended for such patients. Silent high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) in ASC-US cytology in this study were high. Colposcopy should be recommended for diagnosis and follow-up in this setting. PMID: 31870122 [PubMed - in process]
