Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
dysplasia is due to hpv infection of the cervix which may lead to cancer later hence the surgery.
the same infection may also affect the vaginal tissue and cause dysplasia of the vagina though the incidence is less.
I would recommend that you continue with the yearly inspection of the vaginal vault and the smear of the vault for early detection.
thanks.
