Normality was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, and when necessary, a parametric test (t-test), with a description of the mean (m) and standard deviation (SD), and nonparametric test (Mann-Whitney), with a description of the median (md) and inter-quartile range (IQR), were used.

a- Median (min = minimum, max = maximum)

b–Squamocolumnar junction

c- Cervical Intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2

d- Cervical Intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3.
