What is suface cancer of the cervix?

Question

Is it curable? I know that a conization is done for it. But, will a woman still be able to have children?

Answer 1

This is sometimes referred to as dysplasia. It means that atypical (not typical) cells are found on a PAP smear. Colposcopy or a LEEP procedure is usually what is used to take a biopsy, and by the way is curative.

This is a common procedure and by virtue of the fact that it was found when it was, on the surface of the cervix, means that it is a minor infection and should be easily fixed. This should in no way affect your ability to have children or require that you take any special precautions regarding child-bearing.

The source of cervical dysplasia is the Human Papilloma Virus which is passed from human to human sexually.

Answer 2

I believe this is what a pap smear test is used to detect. If the cancer is stopped, a woman should still be able to have children. But double-check with an ob-gyn doctor.
