What do inflammatory reactive changes mean?

Inflammatory reactive changes are indicative of the presence of current inflammation and often appear in pathology reports. In gynecology, the words “cervical TCT” often appear. Cervical TCT is a very popular clinical screening tool for cervical cancer, and the words “inflammatory reactive changes” often appear in the report card of cervical TCT, indicating the presence of cervicitis, the clinical manifestations of cervicitis, including cervical polyps, cervical hypertrophy and cervical erosion. Married women should not only have a gynecological examination once a year, but also have a cervical TCT examination to screen for cervical cancer, because some cervical lesions cannot be detected by the naked eye, so it is necessary to brush the cells from the surface of the cervix and send them to the pathology department for examination, which is the cervical TCT cancer screening.
