🎙️ Episode Description: Cervical Pathology – From Erosion to Carcinoma
In this high-yield episode of PodBites, Lina and Malak take you on a deep dive through the pathology of the uterine cervix — from benign changes like ectropion to the life-saving importance of Pap smears.
Starting with physiological squamous metaplasia and reactive polyps, this episode breaks down infectious culprits like Candida, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, and HSV, then zooms in on the role of HPV in the development of CIN and cervical carcinoma. You’ll learn to distinguish CIN from SIL, interpret biopsy findings, understand FIGO staging, and appreciate the power of screening and vaccination.
💡 Key Highlights:
✔️ Cervical erosion, squamous metaplasia, and polyps – benign but important
✔️ Candidiasis, Trichomoniasis, HSV, and Chlamydia – infectious cervicitis decoded
✔️ HPV infection and koilocytosis – hallmarks and high-risk types
✔️ CIN vs SIL – grading, terminology, and biopsy findings
✔️ Cervical cancer – histologic types, FIGO staging, clinical signs
✔️ Pap test and HPV vaccination – how we prevent progression
🎧 Whether you're prepping for exams or clinic, this episode makes cervical pathology clear, structured, and unmissable.
