Description

This anatomical illustration shows exocervicitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the ectocervix, the outer part of the cervix that extends into the vagina. The image captures a sagittal view of the female reproductive tract, focusing on the reddened and irritated cervical epithelium. The inflamed area is distinctly marked by bright erythema and patchy white lesions, suggesting a severe inflammatory reaction. The surrounding vaginal wall and endocervical canal are shown in contrast to highlight the affected zone. This kind of visual detail is especially valuable for medical training, allowing students and professionals to identify key visual cues associated with exocervical inflammation and distinguish it from deeper cervical or endometrial disorders.
