Steroid Hormone Alterations in Women with HPV-Associated Cervical Cytological Abnormalities in Nigeria

Background

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major cause of cervical pathology, yet its influence on systemic hormonal regulation remains poorly understood. This study evaluated serum estradiol, progesterone, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in women with HPV-associated cervical cytological abnormalities.
