Question 1

can pregnancy cause cervical dysplasia?

Accepted Answer

No: Pregnancy is not a cause of cervical dysplasia.

Question 2

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 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

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 8

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.

Question 9

does cervical dysplasia always turn into cancer?

Accepted Answer

No, but need PAP smr: Cervical dysplasia is a risk factor for cervical cancer, but doesn't automatically guarantee cancer. You'll need regular PAP smears if cervical dysplasia is found - yearly surveillance. Make sure you inform your Gynecologist of any changes in your health. Some women don't want to be hassled with yearly visits, &amp; choose to undergo a cone biopsy / cone  resection (preserving fertility) or other surg

Question 10

what are the causes of cervical dysplasia besides hpv?

Accepted Answer

Depends on multiple: Factors.  Hpv accounts for about 80% of cervical cancers.  Other risk factors for cancer and by extension for dysplasia are age at first intercourse, number of partners, smoking and genetic predisposition.
