Abstract
The etiology of premalignant cervical lesions was investigated anamnestically in teenagers. The material comprised of 54 patients (mean age 18.0 years, range 12-19 years) treated in 1973-77. Early coital practise and frequent change of sexual partners were usual. Previous abortions and frequent genital infections were also typical. The rising frequency of dysplasias in young age groups calls for increased general knowledge and information even among teenagers and, if possible, mass screening.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
