Question 1

i have had a colposcopy and a leep for cervical dysplasia and my follow up pap shows another low grade lesion. i have hpv. im worried about fertility ?

Accepted Answer

Good to be concerned: Studies have shown that patients who have had a LEEP procedure may have a higher incidence of cervical stenosis or premature delivery from cervical incompetence. However HPV alone will NOT prevent you from getting pregnant assuming there are no other factors like tubal occlusion or lack of ovulation. If the HPV progresses to overt cervical cancer then fertility options will be revisited.

Question 2

abnorm pap and + hpv test then colposcopy and biopsy. result low grade cin 1 cervical dysplasia. chemical peel done and flouroplex prescription vag. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Blocks DNA: The drug blocks synthesis of dna in rapidly dividing cells (pre-cancer cells).  Did they put that cream on the cervix, though?  I haven't heard of that management for cin 1.  Most doctors will watch cin 1, according to guidelines of asccp: http://www.Asccp.Org/portals/9/docs/asccp%20updated%20guidelines%20%20-%203.21.13.Pdf
and then go to "figure 13".

Question 3

whats cervical dysplasia mean?

Accepted Answer

Precancerous cells: Dysplasia of the cervix are cells which are showing cellular changes consistent with pre-cancerous lesions. They are graded as low-grade (atypia or cin-1) or high-grade (cin 2, 3, or carcinoma in situ). Low grade cells can be followed while high grade lesions need to be identified (colposcopy) & removed (leep or cone biopsy).

Question 4

could cervical dysplasia ever be cured?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are a number of treatment options for cervical dysplasia including cryotherapy, laser therapy, and excisional therapies.  Some can be done in the doctor's office and some are done as outpatient surgeries.  Which one is best depends on the degree of dysplasia, your age, whether you've completed child-bearing etc.

Question 5

how is cervical dysplasia typically treated?

Accepted Answer

Several methods: Cervical dysplasia can be treated by a cone biopsy or leep procedure (in which a small portion of the cervix is removed), or sometimes by laser or cryotherapy(freezing), both of which destroy the abnormal cells but do not remove the area for further examination. There is good evidence that the hpv vaccines can decrease the risk of developing dysplasia in the first place.

Question 6

what are the symptoms of cervical dysplasia?

Accepted Answer

No symptoms: There are no symptoms that go along with cervical dysplasia/abnormal pap smears leading to precancerous cells of the cervix. This is why having an annual pap smear done is so important. It allows early precancerous changes in the cervix to be diagnosed and treated. Hpv vaccination is recommended for all men and women between 9-26 years old to prevent this problem.

Question 7

can pregnancy cause cervical dysplasia?

Accepted Answer

No: Pregnancy is not a cause of cervical dysplasia.

Question 8

can i get pregnant with cervical dysplasia?

Accepted Answer

Not related: Fertility is not related to cervical dysplasia which means precancerous cells located inside the cervix from the sexually transmitted hpv virus.

Question 9

what are the treatments for cervical dysplasia?

Accepted Answer

Depends!: Cervical Dysplasia can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild to moderate Dysplasia maybe just followed by repeat smears and/or Kolposkopy, severe needs treatment.

Question 10

can moderate cervical dysplasia cause bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The abnormal areas on the cervix where the dysplasia resides can bleed spontaneously.  Bleeding between periods, especially bleeding after intercourse, needs to be evaluated.
