Cervical dysplasia is a condition characterized by abnormal cell growth on the lining of the cervix. It is often associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can potentially lead to cervical cancer if left untreated. Detection is commonly achieved through Pap tests, and early treatment is crucial to prevent progression to cancer. Mild dysplasia may resolve on its own, while moderate to severe cases require medical intervention to remove the abnormal cells and reduce the risk of cancer.

Get A Second OpinionCervical dysplasia is classified into three main stages based on the extent of abnormal cell changes:
In this stage, a small portion of cervical cells shows mild abnormalities.
A larger portion of cells exhibits moderate changes, indicating a higher degree of abnormality.
This stage involves a significant number of severely abnormal cells, closer to precancerous changes.
The primary cause of cervical dysplasia is infection with HPV, a prevalent sexually transmitted virus. Contributing factors include:

Detecting cervical dysplasia involves a series of steps aimed at identifying abnormal cell changes in the cervix. The diagnostic process typically includes:
Treatment options depend on the severity of dysplasia and may involve:
If you have abnormal Pap smear results, positive HPV tests, unusual vaginal bleeding, pelvic discomfort, or new reproductive symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare provider. Regular screenings and early detection are key to addressing cervical dysplasia and ensuring your overall reproductive health.

040-68334455Yes, cervical dysplasia can sometimes go away on its own, especially mild cases (CIN 1). Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential.
It can take 10-15 years or longer for severe cervical dysplasia (CIN 3) to develop into invasive cervical cancer. However, not all cases will progress to cancer.
No, dysplasia is not cancer. It refers to abnormal cell growth, which can potentially develop into cancer if left untreated.
Cervical dysplasia itself is usually not painful and often has no symptoms. It is typically detected through routine Pap smears.
Cervical dysplasia is most common in women aged 25-35 but can occur in any woman who is sexually active.
Foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, folate, and carotenoids (such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains) are beneficial for cervical health and may help manage cervical dysplasia.
