Rationale and Comments
Mild dysplasia (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1) is associated with the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV), which does not require treatment in average-risk women. Most women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 on biopsy have a transient HPV infection that will usually clear in less than 12 months and, therefore, does not require treatment.
