Cervical dysplasia refers to a medical condition of the cervix in which squamous cells on the surface of the cervix undergo a potentially premalignant transformation. This abnormal growth (dysplasia) may lead to the development of cervical cancer if left untreated.
An abnormal Pap smear may lead to a recommendation for colposcopy of the cervix during which the cervix is examined under magnification. A biopsy of the cervix is taken of any abnormal appearing areas. Cervical dysplasia can be diagnosed by biopsy.
Causes include a chronic infection of the cervix by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), possibly birth control pills.
In many cases, cervical dysplasia will regress without treatment. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, smoking avoidance and condom use increase regression of cervical dysplasia.

Treatment will depend on the biopsy results.
