  • Title: The effect of pregnancy on the cervical squamocolumnar junction in patients with abnormal cervical cytology.
    Author: Ostergard DR.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1979 Aug 01; 134(7):759-60. PubMed ID: 463976.
    Abstract:
    During a 6 1/2 year study period the author used colposcopy to evaluate 174 pregnant patients with abnormal cervical cytology. Of these patients, 42% had an exocervical squamocolumnar junction. In those patients beyond the age of 25, or with a parity greater than 1, 80% had endocervical junctions. The predominant effect of pregnancy is to stimulate endocervical migration of this junction.
