Overview

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, LEEP, and cervical conization.

Treatment

Treatment for moderate-to-severe dysplasia or mild dysplasia that does not go away may include:

  • Cryosurgery to freeze abnormal cells
  • Laser therapy, which uses light to burn away abnormal tissue
  • LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure)
    • Surgery to remove the abnormal tissue (cone biopsy)

Rarely, a hysterectomy may be needed. Women treated for dysplasia need close follow-up, usually every 3 to 6 months or as recommended by their provider.
