==Overview==
==[[Cervical dysplasia overview|Overview]]==
'''Cervical dysplasia''' refers to a medical condition of the [[cervix]] in which [[squamous]] cells on the surface of the cervix undergo a [[premalignant]] transformation.  This abnormal growth ([[dysplasia]]) may lead to the development of cervical [[cancer]] if left untreated.  Cervical dysplasia can be diagnosed by a [[biopsy]] of the cervix.  An abnormal [[Pap smear]] may lead to a recommendation for [[colposcopy]] of the cervix during which the cervix is examined under magnification.  A biopsy of the cervix is taken of any abnormal appearing areas.

Cervical dysplasia appears to arise from a chronic [[infection]] of the cervix by [[Human Papilloma Virus]] (HPV).  This is the same virus that causes the common [[wart]].  There are approximately 100 strains of HPV.  Thirteen of these strains appear to cause cervical dysplasia and lead to the development of cervical cancer.  Hormonal treatments such as birth control pills have also been linked to higher rates of cervical dysplasia{{Fact|Cervical_dysplasia|date=September 2007}}.
==[[Cervical dysplasia differential diagnosis|Differentiating Cervical dysplasia from other Diseases]]==


Cervical dysplasia is curable although the lifetime recurrence rate is 20%.  Methods used to cure cervical dysplasia require destruction of the surface cells of the cervix.  These methods include [[cryocautery]], [[electrocautery]], [[laser cautery]], [[Loop electrical excision procedure|LEEP]], and [[cervical conization]].
==[[Cervical dysplasia natural history|Natural History, Complications & Prognosis]]==


Some patients attempt to treat cervical dysplasia through hormone treatments, diet, and avoidance of certain substances.{{Dubious}}<sub>[http://www.pap101.com source]</sub>{{Verify source|date=September 2007}}
