How serious is cervical dysplasia?

Hearing the word “precancerous” can be scary, but it’s important to remember that most people with cervical dysplasia don’t get cancer. Receiving a cervical dysplasia diagnosis means that you may — not that you will — develop cervical cancer if you don’t have recommended treatments. If cancer does form, it takes years to develop, giving your healthcare provider time to find and remove problem areas.
