Question

Are there any alternative non-surgical treatments for a mild cervical dysplasia?

Answer 1

Never heard of this!: I do not know of any such named treatment which is medically proven to be useful. So i would advise you to seek a second opinion before you get into trouble with an unconventional therapy.

Answer 2

Not necessarily: Cervical dysplasia is a result of the hpv virus that is transmitted person-to-person through bodily fluids. Theoretically anything that results in sharing fluids can transmit this, not just intercourse.

Answer 3

Dysplasia: 90% + cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer is related to hpv. Hpv is primarily transmitted in the genital region by sexual intercourse. To get cervical dysplasia without ever being sexually actively is extremely rare.

Answer 4

Yes: You can be cured by watchful waiting if careful monitoring is practiced and your immune system is good enough. If the problem progresses, there are several simple surgical treatments which are effective.

Answer 5

Cervical dysplasia: At your age, it is possible to simply treat the the dysplasia. Because you are young there is a good chance that the hpv that caused it may go away also.

Answer 6

Nothing good: Cervical dysplasia is what is called a pre-cancerous condition; it's not cancer, but there is a risk that it will develop into cervical cancer. Managing it depends on the degree of the dysplasia, and it is really important that you continue to follow-up with your doctor to prevent it from progressing. The earlier you treat these lesions, the easier they are to control!

Answer 7

Don't ignore: Based on how severe the dysplasia is, it may become cancerous if untreated. About 70% of mild dysplasias will regress and 1 in 5 will become severe dysplasia or cancer. Some hpv virus subtypes are more aggressive and this information may be available from a pap smear. But there no sure way to predict behavior. Best to get proper treatment and follow up.

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

Yes: Cervical dysplasia, or precancer cells, often go away without treatment and the hpv virus that stimulated the cells to become abnormal can also disappear. If cervical dysplasia doesn't go away, it is treatable and curable by procedures like freezing, laser, or leep which can remove all evidence of abnormal cells along with the hpv virus.

Answer 10

Pap smear and biopsy: The pap smear is a good screen to suggest that atypical cells or dysplastic cells are present. Because the pap is performed blindly, it doesn't always show the worst cells. The most exact way to diagnose dysplasia is by doing a colposcopy (looking at the cervix with a microscope after treating with a vinegar solution) and then doing a small biopsy of the abnormal areas.

Answer 11

Pap Smear: Obtaining a routine pap smear is the starting point to determine if you have dysplasia. Dysplasia is a pre-cancerous condition of the cervix commonly found in the population. It is almost always caused by the presence of a sexually transmitted infection called human papillomavirus (hpv). After an abnormal pap smear a colposcopy (magnified view) of the cervix with biopsies is sent to confirm.
