Do products containing Calendula officinalis have a positive role in treating uterine cervix disorders?

Abstract

Once screening tests and national programs for early detection of cervical cancer have been widely developed, a significant number of patients are diagnosed with preneoplastic lesions at this level; therefore, in such cases, a conservative treatment is feasible, increasing therefore the possibility of fertility preservation and conceiving. Meanwhile, after performing an invasive maneuver at this level attention should be focused on obtaining an adequate healing process at this level. The aim of the current paper is to conduct a literature review regarding the benefits of Calendula officinalis in maximizing the healing process after local invasive procedures at the level of the uterine cervix as well as on human papilloma virus infection prevention.
