  Benificial Folate (Vitamin B9)
Treatment of Cervical Dysplasia

Like beta-carotene, some evidence suggests that folate (also known as vitamin B9) deficiencies may contribute to the development of cancerous or precancerous lesions in the cervix. Researchers also theorize that folate consumed in the diet may improve the cellular changes seen in cervical dysplasia by lowering homocysteine (a substance believed to contribute to the severity of cervical dysplasia) levels. The benefit of using dietary folate to prevent or treat cervical dysplasia has not been sufficiently proven.

 Vitamins C and Folate Supplements Have Many Health Benefits
Treatment of Cervical Dysplasia

In addition, some of the risk factors for cervical dysplasia may cause certain nutritional deficiencies. For example, smoking may contribute to a deficiency in vitamin C and long-term use of birth control pills may diminish folate levels. Research has yet to prove whether taking vitamin C and folate supplements can help prevent or treat cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer. At the same time, it seems prudent to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables which contain vitamin C, folate, and beta-carotene, as these nutrients have been shown to have many health benefits.

 Other Considerations
Pregnancy
Treatment of Cervical Dysplasia

Cases of cervical dysplasia may advance during pregnancy, but treatment can generally be deferred until after delivery.

A biopsy to diagnose cervical dysplasia is safe to perform during pregnancy.

Treatment with cervical conization may adversely affect fertility.

 Prognosis and Complications
Treatment of Cervical Dysplasia

Pap smears are essential to detecting precancerous lesions as well as early stages of cervical cancer. The regular use of Pap smears as a screening test has prevented millions of cases of cervical cancer and has saved a similar number of lives. Despite their value, they are not always 100% accurate. Up to 2% of women with normal Pap smear results actually have high-grade cervical dysplasia at the time of evaluation. In some rare cases, Pap smears may produce "false positive" results, meaning that a healthy woman may be falsely diagnosed with cervical dysplasia. Despite these errors, Pap smears are the most effective and reliable method of identifying cervical dysplasia.
