Cervical Dysplasia

Cervical dysplasia refers to the abnormal growth of squamous cells on the surface of the cervix. It is a precancerous condition, typically caused by persistent infection with high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV). If left untreated, it may progress to cervical cancer, though many cases regress spontaneously.

The primary cause is persistent infection with oncogenic HPV types, notably 16 and

1. Lifestyle factors, including tobacco use, immunocompromised states (e.g., HIV), and early initiation of sexual activity, contribute to viral persistence and disease progression.

HPV integrates into the host genome, producing E6 and E7 oncoproteins. These proteins inactivate tumor suppressor genes (p53 and pRb), leading to uncontrolled cellular proliferation, failure of DNA repair, and the histological changes classified as CIN I, II, or III.

It most commonly affects women of reproductive age, peaking between ages 25 and

1. HPV infection is ubiquitous, but clinical dysplasia is identified in approximately 3-5% of screened women.

• Multiple sexual partners
• Smoking
• Immunosuppression
• Early sexual debut
• Long-term oral contraceptive use
• Chlamydia coinfection

A. Early Symptoms

• Asymptomatic (most common) B. Common Symptoms


• Postcoital spotting


• Intermenstrual bleeding C. Advanced Symptoms


• Pelvic pain


• Abnormal vaginal discharge D. Emergency Symptoms


• Heavy vaginal hemorrhage

Generally normal. A speculum exam may reveal cervical erythema, punctation, or mosaicism, though these are typically visualized via colposcopy rather than routine exam.

A. Clinical Assessment: Pelvic exam with visualization of the cervix.
B. Laboratory Testing: HPV DNA testing, Pap smear (cervical cytology).
C. Imaging Studies: Generally not required for dysplasia alone.
D. Functional Tests: Colposcopy.
E. Biopsy Findings: CIN I (mild), CIN II (moderate), CIN III (severe).
F. Genetic Testing: HPV genotyping.
G. Differential Diagnosis: Cervicitis, cervical polyps, condyloma acuminata.

Test Name: Papanicolaou (Pap) Smear
Type: Cytological Screening
Purpose: Detect cellular atypia
Expected Findings: ASC-US, LSIL, HSIL
Interpretation: Indicates need for triage or biopsy Test Name: HPV DNA Assay
Type: Molecular Test
Purpose: Identify presence of oncogenic HPV
Expected Findings: Positive or Negative
Interpretation: Risk stratification for progression

Colposcopy (with acetic acid/Lugol’s iodine): Used to map suspicious areas on the cervix for directed biopsy.

Chronic cervicitis, cervical carcinoma, vaginal adenosis, herpetic ulcerations.

Progression to invasive cervical cancer, cervical stenosis, preterm labor in future pregnancies.

A. Lifestyle Modifications: Smoking cessation.
B. Preventive Measures: HPV vaccination (Gardasil 9).
C. Medical Treatment: Topical 5-fluorouracil (rarely used).
D. Surgical Treatment: Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP).
E. Interventional Procedures: Cold knife conization, laser ablation, cryotherapy.
F. Rehabilitation: Follow-up surveillance.
G. Emergency Management: Hemostasis for bleeding.

Excellent. Most low-grade lesions resolve spontaneously. Treated CIN III has a high cure rate, though lifelong screening is required.

Routine HPV vaccination and regular cervical cancer screening (Pap/HPV co-testing).
