Image Based Question-66726

The finding of cervix as shown in the picture below represents ?

A. Strawberry cervix.

B. Associated with Trichomonas infections.

C. Cervix has papilliform appearance.

D. All of the above.

Correct Answer » D Explanation

A strawberry cervix is a finding upon examination where the cervix has a punctate and papilliform appearance. It is named because of the superficial appearance to a strawberry.

As opposed to a more general inflammation of the cervix found in cervicitis, the strawberry cervix is considered to be selectively associated with Trichomonas infections.

Only 2% of women with the infection will have a “strawberry” cervix or vagina on examination.This is due to capillary dilation as a result of the inflammatory response.
