EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF UTERINE AND OVARIAN DISEASES.
Abstract
This article discusses the early diagnosis of uterine and ovarian diseases, modern screening methods and their clinical and practical significance. In recent years, diseases of the female reproductive system, including uterine fibroids, endometriosis, cervical pathologies, and ovarian cysts and tumors, have become widespread. Since these diseases often occur in the early stages with asymptomatic or vague clinical signs, their early detection is of great medical and social importance. The article analyzes the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound (UTT), Dopplerography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), colposcopy, cytological examination (PAP-test), biopsy, and laboratory biomarkers (CA-125, etc.). In particular, the role of screening programs in the early detection of cervical cancer and the importance of tumor markers in ovarian tumors are considered separately. It is also noted that risk factors such as hormonal disorders, hereditary predisposition, inflammatory diseases, early onset of sexual life, HPV infection and reproductive factors play an important role in the development of diseases. Early diagnosis is an important factor in reducing severe complications of the disease, increasing the effectiveness of treatment and preserving the reproductive health of women. The results of the study show that regular preventive examinations and the widespread introduction of modern diagnostic technologies allow for the early detection of uterine and ovarian diseases and significantly reduce the risk of developing oncological diseases.
