Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) refers to abnormal changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix. It is not cancer, but it is considered a change that requires monitoring because, without follow-up, some forms could progress over time. It is usually related to persistent infection with the human papillomavirus.

How it is detected: it is usually identified through cervical screening tests, since it often produces no obvious symptoms.

When is it important to seek care? Having periodic gynecological checkups makes it possible to detect these changes early, even without symptoms.

Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation and follow-up fall to the gynecologist, who determines the necessary tests for each case. Keeping your checkups up to date and discussing any concern with a professional is the best way to care for your cervical health.
