Which specialist treats cervical dysplasia?

Cervical dysplasia describes abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix. It is often found after an HPV Test or cervical screening result and may cause no symptoms. A colposcopy lets the specialist examine the cervix closely and take a small sample if needed. The grade, location, and extent of the cell changes guide whether monitoring or treatment is appropriate.

Follow the referral or screening instructions and bring previous results to your gynaecology appointment. The specialist may recommend Colposcopy, repeat testing, or removal of abnormal tissue with Loop Excision of the Cervix or Cone Biopsy. Ask how treatment may affect pregnancy plans and how follow-up will be arranged. Bleeding after sex or between periods should be assessed rather than assumed to be caused by dysplasia.

Arrange timely care after an abnormal screening result or if you have unexplained bleeding after sex or between periods. Seek urgent help for heavy bleeding, faintness, severe pelvic pain, or fever after a cervical procedure. Keep every follow-up appointment because cell changes can require continued surveillance.

Ask what grade of dysplasia was found, whether a biopsy is needed, and why monitoring or treatment is recommended. Clarify expected bleeding after a procedure, warning signs, the timing of repeat testing, and whether your results require specialist follow-up.
