Cervical dysplasia is a term used to describe the appearance of abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix. These changes in cervical tissue are classified as mild, moderate, or severe. While dysplasia itself does not cause health problems, it is considered to be a precancerous condition. Left untreated, dysplasia sometimes progresses to an early form of cancer known as cervical carcinoma in situ, and eventually to invasive cervical cancer. Mild dysplasia is the most common form, and up to 70% of these cases regress on their own- the cervical tissue returns to normal without treatment. You can read more about it here

It is caused by the HPV virus, which is sexually transmitted and also causes warts. The virus produces small, benign growths on the cervix. Women with diets low in folic acid and those who smoke may be at a higher risk for cervical dysplasia.

There is no treatment that is done for a mild case since it typically goes away on its own. Your doctor will do follow-up Paps to monitor it to see if it goes away and if any further treatment is needed. Moderate dysplasia can be treated with a number of surgical procedures, including cryosurgery (freezing with liquid nitrogen), laser excision, or cauterization (burning), all of which destroy the abnormal tissues. Your doctor may recommend the loop electrosurgical excisional procedure (LEEP), which uses a thin wire loop with an electrical current running through it to remove the abnormal tissue. Severe dysplasia requires a cone biopsy, in which a cone-shaped piece of tissue is removed from the cervix. Cone biopsies are performed with a laser, a surgical knife, or LEEP. The tissue removed is examined under a microscope for signs of cancer.
