Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
CONTROL GROUP
For the duration of the study, standard clinical practice will be followed wait and see strategy, without administering carboxymethyl-b-glucan treatment.
No interventions assigned to this group
TREATMENT GROUP
For a period of three months, patients will be administered once daily treatment with Carboxymethyl β-glucan and Polycarbophil
carboxymethyl β-glucan
It is a vaginal spray gel designed for the prevention and treatment of cervical lesions caused by HPV. This is achieved by controlling the physiological conditions of the transformation zone of the cervico-vaginal mucosa. The composition of the gel, which includes polycarbophil and carboxymethyl-beta-glucan, effectively shields the cervico-vaginal mucosa from the damaging effects of external agents due to its bioadhesive capacity. Additionally, it contributes to the re-epithelialization and regression of cervical lesions

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Histological cervical cytology results reported as ASCUS, LSIL/CIN1, with a positive cervical PCR determination for high-risk HPV (genotypes 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68).

Specifically, in the case of corticosteroids, women will be excluded if they are currently or recently receiving corticosteroid treatment (defined as within two weeks prior to study entry) or if they have undergone two or more cycles of corticosteroids at doses equal to or greater than 20 mg/day of Prednisone (or equivalent) orally or parenterally for at least one week's duration in the year prior to study entry.
* Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding.
* Total hysterectomy.
* Documented history of cervical pathology caused by HPV.
* Contraindications to the use of the combination of Carboxymethyl B-glucan and polycarboxyl, or known allergies to any of its components.
CONTROL GROUP

* Patients not currently undergoing treatment for HPV.
* Capable of reading and comprehending the patient information sheet and the informed consent form.
* Willing to participate in the study and sign the informed consent form.
