Abstract
Objective: To determine the demographic, clinical, cytologic, colposcopic findings in women with postcoital bleeding Material-Methods: Forty-eight premenopausal women with postcoital bleeding were referred to colposcopy unit between September 2009 and September 2010. Demographic features, cervical cytology results, colposcopic diagnosis and biopsy reports of cases were evaluated. Data were analyzed with SPSS 17.0. Results: The median age was 37 (23-49). Most of the cases did not use a contraceptive method (n=17, 35.4%) and were monogamous (n= 45, 93.8%) and multiparous (n=36, 75%). Cervical cytology identified 5 patients with ASC-US/LSIL, 2 with ASC-H and 3 with HSIL. Out of the 48 cases, 38 women had normal findings at colposcopy (79.2%) and 6 women had high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2/3) and invasive carsinoma (12.5%). Biopsy was taken from 39.6% of patients after colposcopic evaluation. Four cases were reported as CIN 1 (8.4%), 1 case as CIN 2 (2.1%), 1 case as CIN 3 (2.1%) and 2 cases as invasive carcinoma (4.2%) according to histopathologic evaluation. Conclusion: Even if, most of the cases with postcoital bleeding have benign lesions, colposcopy should be performed because of increased incidence of high grade CIN and invasive neoplasia.
