It is a resposme to chronic infection [vaginitis]
can be because of ectropion of cervix too.
In case of chronic smokers you get squamous metaplasia. That prevent outward expulsion of the dust particles and bacteria out of the respiratory tract. That enhances the chances of various dust related lung diseases and infections.
Metaplasia is not cancer. Metaplasia is a reversible change in cell type that can occur in response to chronic irritation or inflammation. It is considered a precancerous condition since it may increase the risk of developing cancer if the underlying cause is not addressed.
Keratinization in the lungs is abnormal and indicates a condition called squamous metaplasia. It is often a response to chronic irritation or inflammation, such as from smoking. This can impair the normal function of the lungs and increase the risk of developing respiratory issues.
Chronic follicular cervicitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the cervix, specifically involving the presence of follicles or small nodules. It can be caused by various factors such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or chronic irritation. Symptoms may include abnormal vaginal discharge, pain during intercourse, and spotting between periods. Treatment may involve addressing the underlying cause, such as antibiotics for infections or hormonal therapy for hormonal imbalances.
In dysplasia, you have early neoplastic changes. So there you have darkly stained nucleus and chromatin material is seen in many cells. Many cells seen to be in various stages of cell division. In metaplasia the type of cells is changed from one type to another. So in case of chronic smoker, you have stratified squamous epithelium is seen, instead normal cilia-ted epithelium.
Squamous metaplasia refers to the process in which one type of epithelial cell, typically columnar, is replaced by squamous cells, which are flat and scale-like. This change often occurs in response to chronic irritation or inflammation, serving as a protective mechanism. While it can be a reversible adaptation, prolonged squamous metaplasia may increase the risk of dysplasia and cancer in certain tissues, such as the respiratory tract or cervix.

Cervicitis
Cervicitis is swelling (inflammation) of the end of the uterus. The cervix is located at the end of uterus , reaching into the vagina. When the exterior tissues of the cervix become inflamed, usually through infection, this is called cervicitis. About half of all women will experience one bout or more of cervicitis in their lifetimes. The symptoms of cervicitis include: -Bleeding; -Itching; -Irritation of the external genitals; -Pain during intercourse; -Bleeding or spotting after sexual intercourse or between periods ; -A burning sensation during urination; -Lower back pain or pain low in the abdomen , sometimes felt only during sexual intercourse.
Esophagogastric mucosa with squamous hyperplasia and focal active chronic inflammation indicates a pathological condition affecting the lining of the esophagus and stomach. Squamous hyperplasia refers to an increase in the number of squamous cells, often as a response to irritation or injury. The presence of focal active chronic inflammation suggests ongoing inflammation that may be due to factors like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or chronic irritation. This combination can lead to symptoms such as dysphagia or heartburn and may require further investigation to determine the underlying cause.
Cervicitis does not cause cancer. Typical causes of cervicitis are STDs, so treatment is important. STDs that cause cervicitis can sometimes affect future fertility.
Scientists continue to research how to reverse intestinal metaplasia. Studies suggest that eliminating the bacteria responsible for intestinal metaplasia, along with long-term follow-up, the condition can be reversed.
