Introduction. Cervical cytological screening is a preventive examination method designed to detect pathological changes at an early stage. This examination makes it possible to detect gynecological pathologies (in particular, cervical cancer) at an early stage, when symptoms are not yet present. Objective. To analyze the results of cytological screening among women of different age groups who underwent a comprehensive medical examination. Materials and methods. Cytological screening was performed using the classic PAP test. The type of smear was determined based on the description of the smears. A clinical and statistical analysis of the results of cytological screening of women of different age groups (18–29 years, 30–39 years, 40–49 years, 50 years and older) who underwent a comprehensive medical examination was performed. Results. It was found that atypical changes (mild dysplasia, 1.3% of all cases) were recorded exclusively in women over 50 years of age. The frequency of inflammatory smears depended on age: in women of reproductive age, it was up to 41.4%, while in postmenopausal women, this figure was almost three times lower (15.2%). These differences are probably related to hormonal status and sexual activity. Conclusions. The data obtained indicate the need for periodic comprehensive medical examinations, including visits to a gynecologist and cancer screening.
