Abstract

Cervical cancer (CCU) is the third malignant neoplasm that most affects women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Cervical cancer is a public health problem in Paraguay. Our objective was to analyze the prevalence of signs of cervical cancer in women of childbearing age who attended the Papanicolaou (PAP) service of the San Pedro del Ycuamandyyú Regional Hospital (HRSP), during the months of January to October 2023 with the purpose of evaluating the frequency of attacks by the local population using field research as a methodology through consultation of the records of the patients who will attend the Pap smear service at the (HRSP), considering their respective cytopathological studies that are used as a basis for what is cervical cancer, its relationship with the (HPV) papillomavirus human. Given the high frequency of occurrence of cervical dysplasia found in the records, it is possible to confirm that cervical cancer neoplasia is a public health problem in San Pedro Del Ycuamandiyu. The ideal would be an early diagnosis, which is often not possible due to the low demand for the primary health care service (PHC), and lack of health education. Thus, it is essential that the importance of health service provision by the population of women be focused, enabling early diagnosis and treatment, reducing the number of cases.
