What does it mean when a gynecologist tells a woman she has mild displacia?

Answer 1

Cervical dysplasia is caused by a sexually transmitted infection with a common virus, the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Cervical dysplasia can lead to cervical cancer, the third leading cause of cancer death in women. Dysplasia is progressive, and can take months, years, or might never progress beyond "mild." Severe dysplasia is usually treated first by a LEEP procedure. If that is unsuccessful, a cone biopsy (surgery) will be performed.

Specific treatment for HPV lesions of the cervix will be determined by a physician based on:

1. Overall health and medical history
2. Extent of the lesion
3. Tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
4. Expectations for the course of the lesion
5. Personal preference

Having a good doctor will make all the difference, and dysplasia can be treated without ever progressing to cancer.

Answer 3

The cells are slightly changing. Mildly indicative of taking steps toward neoplasm. I think the term means pre-cancer. Ask the gyn to explain for your best answer.
