A successfully implemented screening program for cervical cancer is essential for detecting cervical intraepithelial lesions which offer the possibility of appropriate management and monitoring, implicitly the limitation of the progression to an invasive form of cancer. For different grades of squamous intraepithelial lesions, the use of vaginal tablets or applicators based on various natural substances as hyaluronic acid, beta-glucan and Coriolus Versicolor is possible with the purpose of expectative management or prior and post excisional intervention. We present the incidence trend of abnormal Pap smear results for the last five years in the University Emergency Hospital of Bucharest, with a summary of the literature regarding the biochemical mechanism of the main natural components from vaginal tablets used in the management of precancerous cervical lesions HPV induced and we share our personal experience with three clinical cases that benefited from this therapy. As there is a therapeutic window between the Pap-smear result, colposcopy and preparing for intervention, local treatment with natural components is a suitable choice as it is easy to use, inexpensive and efficient. The conclusion we reached is that the vaginal treatment with natural substances can be useful in terms of improving the local inflammatory process on the one hand and lubricating and regenerating tissues with the improvement of subsequent procedural performance on the other.
