Rogovskaya Svetlana Ivanovna is a professor at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, also deals with dermatovenerology.
In 2003, she defended her thesis, which considered the study of papillomavirus infection of the lower genitalia. In her work, the professor showed the incidence of the disease in the modern world, the modern directions of diagnostic measures and therapeutic tactics.
Why is knowledge about the human papillomavirus so relevant these days?
There are several types of this virus. The most common HPV infection is of the sixteenth type. The danger is that when introduced into the body, the virus can cause a change in the structure of cells (dysplasia). Dysplasia is a precancerous condition.
How can I get the human papillomavirus?
Infection with this virus occurs with unprotected sexual contact (anal or vaginal). For a long time, the virus does not manifest itself in any way, so a woman puts off a trip to the doctor for a long time. Unfortunately, many patients, due to their ignorance of cancer, seek specialized help even in advanced cases.
Gynecologist Svetlana Ivanovna Rogovskaya in her thesis tells about the features of the virus, clinic, diagnostic measures. He also pays special attention to patient management tactics.
Professor Rogovskaya Svetlana Ivanovna optimized for practical activities the international classification of HPV. Clinical and morphological criteria formed the basis of the clinical classification, which greatly facilitates the work of attending physicians.
Features of the tactics of examination and treatment of patients
Rogovskaya Svetlana Ivanovna proved the importance of studying the immune system with a subsequent assessment of its changes.
To clarify the degree, form of lesion and method of treatment, the professor suggested using a set of diagnostic measures:
- colposcopy (examination of the cervix under an increase of several tens of times);
- pap test (cytology);
- PCR (polymerase chain reaction).
Rogovskaya Svetlana Ivanovna provided information about changes in the epithelium of the genitals in the dynamics of observation. She also developed criteria for an individual approach to each patient.
What was suggested for practitioners?
Svetlana Ivanovna Rogovskaya suggested taking treatment of local immunity using drugs as the basis for medical tactics. Immunomodulators - drugs that can affect the immune system.
Also in his work Rogovskaya S.I. suggested the use of modern methods that are aimed at local destruction (removal) of the affected epithelium. Removing only the changed layer of cells allows you to save the organ, in the future a woman can become pregnant and give birth to a child. Rogovskaya Svetlana Ivanovna was able to show in her work that a precancerous condition is not a sentence.
Rogovskaya Svetlana Ivanovna in her dissertation said that the cervix is malignant most often (malignancy of the disease). She also conducted a relationship between the state of the immune system and the progression of dysplastic changes in the cells. The professor developed an algorithm for an individual approach to patients, proved the importance of promoting the barrier method of contraception.
Svetlana Ivanovna Rogovskaya is the author of training manuals on practical colposcopy, as well as works on the study of papillomavirus infection in women and cervical pathology. Material for familiarization is offered for students of higher educational institutions and practicing specialists.
