What are the stages of cervical dysplasia in terms that i can understand like i know ascus is the first stage whats the next and how many stages are there i have a few lesions and need a cylosopy?
ASCUS is not a stage of dysplasia; it's a reading on a pap smear, which is a screening test for cervical cancer. A screening test is a simple, noninvasive test to determine what patients need further testing. During a colposcopy, the clinician will typically take biopsies to determine the stage of dysplasia. A pap smear cannot provide that information. See related link for more information about cervical cancer screening and colposcopy.

What is Cervical Cancer and How Can It Be Treated and Prevented?
What is cervical cancer?The cervix is the female hormone that connects the uterus to the vagina. Cancer occurs when the cells in the cervix begin to grow and divide abnormally. It is caused by the human papillomavirus or HPV. Women who have had many sexual partners or had sex before the age of 18 are at the greatest risk for developing cervical cancer. Additionally, cervical cancer is more common in women who have a weakened immune system.What are some of the symptoms of cervical cancer?Most women will not notice any symptoms during the early stages of cervical cancer. Bloody discharge and pelvic pain are signs of advanced cervical cancer. Women who have any symptom that concerns them should not hesitate to see their doctors.What are some of the treatment options for cervical cancer?If a patient is in the early stage of cervical cancer, the doctor will elect to perform an hysterectomy. A hysterectomy is a procedure that removes the uterus. If a woman is found to be in the advanced stage of cervical cancer, the doctor will order radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy uses energy to kill the cancerous cells. Chemotherapy uses drugs to get rid of the cancer.What can be done to prevent cervical cancer?One of the best things that women can do to prevent cervical cancer is get pap smears regularly. Women who are between the ages of 21 and 30 should get a pap smear at least once every two years. A woman should get a pap smear at least every three years after her 30th birthday.Doctors also recommend that women and girls who are between the ages of 9 and 26 get the Gardasil shot.

Is servical cancer deadly?
Hello, I see you are asking."What is servical cancer? Cervical cancer happens when cells change in women’s cervix, which connects the uterus and vagina. This cancer can affect the deeper tissues of their cervix and may spread to other parts of their body (metastasize), often the lungs, liver, bladder, vagina, and rectum. Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), which is preventable with a vaccine. Cervical cancer grows slowly, so there’s usually time to find and treat it before it causes serious problems. It kills fewer and fewer women each year, thanks to improved screening through Pap tests. Women 35 to 44 years old are most likely to get it. More than 15% of new cases are in women over age 65, however, especially those who haven’t been getting regular screenings.
