Chronic cervicitis,carcinoma of cervix, functional bleeding of uterus and tumor of ovaries are the common diseases of this system. Diseases or neoplasms of placent are also included in this system. Since the diseases of breast almost exclusively affect women may also be included

Chronic cervicitis is predisposed by Trauma during childbirth Sexual activity Gynecological instrumentation Alkalinity of cervical mucus (normally the low pH of vagina is maintained by virtus of lactic acid producing bacilli.)

Pathogen It is generally caused by streptococcus, colibacillus,staphlococcus The special pathogens are chlamydia trachomatis,neisseria gonorrhoeae,human papillary virus (HPV)and herpes simplex,etc. Above the special pathogens may be caused by sexual route

Pathological Changes According to clinical and pathologic features,chronic cervicitis is divided into three types
Pathological Changes According to clinical and pathologic features, chronic cervicitis is divided into three types
1.Cervical Erosion Generally it is pseudo erosion:The covering squamous epithelium is almost always replaced by the columnar epithelium of the endocervix. Less commonly it also is actual erosion Squamous cell metaplasia of columnar epithelium and gland. The stroma is infiltrated by lymphocyte and plasma cells

2.Nabothian Cyst 0.1-0.5cm in diameter Over secretion of mucus and poor drainage of mucus,then cyst formation 3.Cervical Polyp Formed by proliferation and protrusing of the endocervical tissue
