Cervical dysplasia
Alternate Names : Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), Precancerous changes of the cervix
Symptoms & Signs
There are usually no symptoms.
Diagnosis & Tests
A pelvic examination is usually normal. A Pap smear that shows abnormal cells or cervical dysplasia needs further testing.
An HPV DNA test can identify the high-risk types of HPV that are known to cause cervical cancer. This may be done: - As a screening test for women over age 30
- For women of any age who have a slightly abnormal Pap test result
