Cervical Precancerous Lesions

Overview

Cervical precancerous lesions are abnormal cell changes of the cervix that may develop into cervical cancer over a period of 10 to 20 years. More than 95% of cervical cancers are caused by sexually transmitted HPV infection. These lesions are often asymptomatic and are typically detected through cervical Pap smear screening followed by biopsy.

Symptoms

• Increased vaginal discharge
• Bleeding after intercourse
• Contact bleeding
• Often no obvious symptoms

Treatment

Depending on the grade of the lesion, undergo regular follow-up or appropriate treatment under a physician's guidance. Prognosis is good with early standardized intervention.

Dietary advice

Eat a balanced diet, take in plenty of vitamin-rich fresh fruits and vegetables, and strengthen immunity.
