SIL is found in women of all ages and can range from mild, moderate, and severe to carcinoma in situ (CIS). CIS is not yet cancer, but if not treated it may progress to cancer. Your risk for SIL increases when:
- You are HIV positive
- You have a weakened immune system
- You have a history of dysplasia or certain cancers
- Your mother took diethylstilbestrol (DES) while she was pregnant with you
If you have an abnormal PAP test result, you will need additional testing to determine the cause. Sometimes, you may only need a repeat PAP test because many cervical cell changes go away on their own. Other times, your doctor may recommend a colposcopy or a biopsy to help identify the reason for the abnormal test result and to determine if treatment is necessary. A colposcopy lets your doctor look at the cervix through a special device similar to a microscope that can detect problems of the cervix that cannot be seen with the eye alone. In this procedure, a speculum like the one used during a PAP test is placed in the vagina. The colposcope remains outside the vagina but is used to see the cervix. The cervix is painted with a mild vinegar solution that makes abnormal cells on the cervix easier to see. If abnormal cells are seen during your colposcopy, your doctor may decide that a cervical biopsy is needed. For a biopsy, the doctor removes a small sample of cervical tissue and sends it to a lab to be studied. You may have a pinching or cramping feeling when the tissue is removed.
