Effect of infectious factors on the clinical and morphological picture of the uretral polyps in women
The aim of this study is to investigate the pathomorphological picture of the clinical course of meatal polyps of the urethra in women diagnosed with urogenital infections. 98 patients with urethral polyps were examined. In 52 patients U.urealiticum was detected by PCR and by the study of the material culture from the urethra and cervix. After further examination all patients underwent surgical treatment followed by pathologic examination of biopsy material. Considering the lack of growth of urogenital infection, a negative PCR result in the material from the urethra in patients of the second group, all samples of polyps after surgery were examined by electron microscopy, which revealed the presence of intracellularly located ureaplasma colonies. This study has allowed to determine the relationship between the presence of meatal polyps and long-term persistence of ureaplsma infection.
