In most cases, the abnormal state of the cells does not mean cervical cancer - dyskaryosis only indicates that some mucous cells can develop into cancer in the future.

In some cases, to complete the survey may need treatment cervical mucus with special solutions, and after colposcopy cervical cancer - the biopsy, the procedure of collecting tissue samples, which are later examined under a microscope to determine the exact type of abnormalities in the cells.

Buserelin - a substance that belongs to the GnRH analogues. It acts on the pituitary gland - the gland that produces and stores, many hormones, including sex hormones, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). In females, LH and FSH stimulate the production of estrogen by the ovaries, thus helping to regulate the menstrual cycle.

The volume released into the blood LH and FSH controls another hormone - gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) or GnRH. GnRH acts on specific receptors in the pituitary gland, stimulating the release of LH and FSH and the subsequent production of estrogen.

Buserelin is a synthetic form of GnRH. It acts on the GnRH receptors as well as the natural hormone.

At the beginning of its use buserelin causes increased production of FSH and LH and estrogen Estrogen - the key to bone health .
