Someone asked me

Mrs.Maria, what are the risk factors for squamous metaplasia?

Answer from me

Hello,

The squamous metaplasia that you ask, may refer to the results of a supporting examination. But you need to write specifically, the type of supporting examination obtained with these results.

One pap smear examination that might include the results. A Pap smear is a recommended examination that routinely performed by women since active contact / sexual intercourse, to check the condition of cervical / cervical cells. So that if there is a change in the shape and condition of the cell that leads to cervical cancer, it can be treated immediately by the doctor.

But biopsy investigations from endoscopy and excision of tumors / lumps can also provide interpretations of these results.

Metaplasia itself is a change in the type of normal cells into other types of cells, but still in normal conditions.

Skuamosa is a type of cell wall in the inner wall of the channel or the lower layer of the body's skin.

Risk factors for squamous metaplasia are certainly specific based on the location found. In general, benign cell changes occur because the body tries to protect the tissue from the process of damage / inflammation, one of which is the condition of infection, irritation and allergies.

Squamous metaplasia alone, usually needs to be evaluated by the doctor further with a complete and direct medical examination. If the condition is benign without inflammation / infection, squamous metaplasia only requires periodic observation.

You can add knowledge about Abnormal Cell Detection in the cervix in this Alodokter article.

That is the info we can share, hopefully helping you.
