Precancerous Cervical Changes
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
If cellular alterations in the cervix are detected during a gynecological exam, it is worth knowing that precancerous changes of the cervix are changes in the cells of this area that are not yet cancer, but that could evolve over time if they are not monitored.
Frequent origin: They are usually related to persistent infections by certain types of human papillomavirus, which periodic screening helps identify in time.
How they are identified: These alterations rarely produce symptoms, so screening tests and colposcopy are key to recognizing them.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist and, in selected cases, the gynecologic oncologist perform the evaluation and follow-up. Keeping your check-ups up to date and discussing any abnormal result with your doctor is the best way to care for your cervical health.
