Overview

Cervical dysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix that are seen underneath a microscope. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens at the top of the vagina.

Although these changes are not cancer, they can lead to cancer of the cervix if not treated.
