Cervical Dysplasia Followup
Cervical dysplasia is a term used to describe the appearance of abnormal cells on the lining or surface of the cervix, the lowest part of the uterus. It is a pre-cancerous condition but not cancer itself. Cervical dysplasia has been linked to HPV or human papillomavirus, but there are also other factors that are important in its development. Usually, there are no symptoms of cervical dysplasia, so it is important to have regular screening done.
Cervical Dysplasia linked to HPV
Dysplasia of the cervix has been linked to HPV or human papillomavirus, and infection of the cervix. A group of HPVs have been found to infect the lining of the cells of the genital and reproductive tract in women. HPV is actually very common as over 75% of sexually active women are thought to acquire it at some point in their lives.
