9. Prognosis for Those With Cervical Dysplasia
When cervical dysplasia is detected and treated early, most cases can be cured. Vigilance in the form of regular checkups is necessary because the condition can return. Women over 21 should have regular pelvic exams and pap tests to catch any abnormalities early.
If cervical dysplasia remains undetected and untreated, the condition may progress, becoming cervical cancer. Treatment methods are more aggressive in that case and may involve hysterectomy and other methods.8‘Cervical Dysplasia.’ Mount Sinai Health System, www.mountsinai.org/health-library/diseases-conditions/cervical-dysplasia.
