Introduction. Currently, cervical intraepithelial lesions are one of the most frequent public health problems. Most cervical cytology tests in sexually active women have up to 76% altered results and the prevalence rate of low-grade premalignant cervical lesions is 12.16%; This is because these are the ones that precede high-grade lesions and cervical cancer.
Aim. Describe the follow-up and therapeutic approach provided to women with intraepithelial lesions of the cervix who are treated at the Leonel Rugama health center, Estelí Nicaragua in 2021.
Material and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional observational descriptive study was carried out with 122 affected women. We took the inclusion criteria into account and created a sample of 93 women, calculated with OpenEpi, version 3.
Results: According to the socio-reproductive characteristics of the women studied, the most affected age group is those over 35 years of age, of rural origin, accompanied marital status, with an incomplete primary schooling level, housewives, of Catholic religion, started life sexually active 15-19 years old.
Conclusion: The high incidence of HPV infection that leads to low- and high-grade lesions and also contributes to increase mortality associated with cervical cancer, we must highlight the importance of cervical cancer prevention programs through screening with cervical cytology and vaccination to prevent HPV.
