Hi,

Thanks for the query.

First let me assure you that Cervical cancer will not develop in period of three months. It takes years to develop.

Now I will explain the chain of events and the reasons behind them.

1. Your doctor must have suggested a Pap Smear during a routine Gynecologic examination.
2. The reports would have shown abnormal cells in the Pap Smear.
3. So the doctor would have done a Colposcopic examination.
4. In coloscopic examination the doctor would have found certain abnormal areas or growth.
5. So the doctor would have biopsied the area or growth.

This biopsied tissue will be sent for pathological examination to determine the extent of derangement present. Following which treatment modalities would be discussed with you.

The protocol when you find an abnormal Pap Smear is to follow up at regular intervals. So you doctor has asked you come back in three months. So there is nothing to worry.

Treatment modalities to treat cervical cancer is improved a lot in recent years. When detected early its 100% curable. So you have absolutely nothing to fear.

I hope my answer has been adequate and informative. If you have any follow up queries I will be available to answer them.

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

The precancerous stage 2 which you are referring to is not of "STAGE II Cervical Cancer". It is CIN 2 (Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia II), which in staging of cervical cancer comes before "STAGE I" it is probably "STAGE Tis -(Carcinoma in situ, intraepithelial carcinoma)". As it is the very early lesion, its definitely treatable.

Precancerous lesions eventually do become cancerous. But in case of cervical cancer it is extremely slow. For the cancer to occur it takes on an average 10 years and for it to become a life-threatening condition is still further.

So, in your case I assure you there is nothing for you to worry.

Wish you good health and long life.
