Has any women been able to reverse cervical dysplasia, due to vitamins, lifestyle changes, etc?

---

I have a close friend who has cervical dysplasia (condition that can lead to cervical cancer). Just wondering if anyone has, or has heard of, success using vitamins and diet/lifestyle changes to reverse their condition. Thanks!
I think that a healthy diet, rich in antioxidants and exercise can do wonders for the body.

I was diagnosed with cervical dysplasia about 5 years ago. The pap came back as dysplasia; a biopsy confirmed no cancer; the dysplasia was frozen off by cryotherapy. I've had normal pap smears since that time.

I know that people tend to avoid surgery if necessary. Sometimes, though, it's the best option.

Maybe your friend should get a second opinion if a surgery has not been offered.

The biopsy (for me) was a little uncomfortable-like a pinch, but was outpatient. The cryotherapy was also an outpatient procedure and virtually painless. No heavy lifting for a few days and no intercourse for about a week.   (+ info)

How long does it take for a cavity to reach the dentin of the tooth?

---

I have to wait two weeks until I get my cavities fixed. Is that too long to wait?
* Because I heard if the cavity reaches the dentin I have to get a root canal and I DON'T want a root canal instead of a filling.
It takes 2 to 3months as dentine is softer than enamel  (+ info)

What is the best treatment for exposed dentin, causing the teeth to look yellow by the gumline?

---

Knowledgeable answers only, please, I need to know how to hide the exposed dentin
Ask your dentist to clean it up and provide bleaching. Then maintain by having this anti plaque mouth wash.  (+ info)

Can cervical dysplasia cause a miscarriage?

---

After just having a miscarriage I have so many questions regarding why it happened. Has anyone had cervical dysplasia and had a successful pregnancy? Or can you be more prone to a miscarriage if you have mild cervical dysplasia?
There is no studies or evidence of your concerns. I do feel for your loss, but its not healthy to think in these terms.

If you do have cervical dysplasia, you should opt for a colposcopy and a biopsy to make sure you're ok.  (+ info)

If you have cervical dysplasia caused by HPV can you have warts?

---

My girlfriend had mild to moderate cervical dysplasia caused by HPV, she had it froze off. The doctor never said anything about genital warts, she also got tested for stds. Is it possible that she could have the strain that causes genital warts and not know it. I have never seen any warts in her.
They are 30+ HPV types that are found in the genital area.

These 30+ HPV types have two categories low risk HPV types…types rarely seen in cancer and most often associated with visible genital warts…..and high risk HPV types…those type that have the potential to cause abnormal cell changes…that left untreated can progress to a cancer.

HPV testing is not included in standard STD screening. HPV is an STD....it is transmitted through sex. HPV is not seen in blood test...it is found in tissue of the skin or in the lining of the cervix..the test to diagnosis high risk HPV is using a sampling of the cervix.


Visible genital warts are usually caused by low risk HPV types 6 or 11.

Cervical dysplasia is usually due to a high risk HPV type that caused abnormal cell changes of the cervix.

Many of us carry more than one HPV type. You can have both a low risk HPV type or high risk HPV types and never show a sign of warts on the vulva or abnormal cell changes of the cervix.

Our HPV test is a screening of only the cervix...and only for high risk HPV types. The HPV test does not tell us what specific HPV types we carry on the cervix.

The HPV test did not screen her vulva...

Freezing removes the abnormal cells that the virus creates....many times after the virus is removed from the cervix...the virus goes into a low viral load and it is not seen in any test.

If you have had sex with this girl...you most probably share her HPV type...though the virus may go into a sleeping stage where it is not seen in test...there is a chance that we may still transmit the virus.
In answer to your question yes she may carry a low risk HPV type on the vulva…and it never show a wart. There is no FDA approved method of screening for the vulva in absence of visible genital warts…as there is no standard screening that has meet FDA approval for the male penis. Men many times carry an HPV type with no signs or symptoms.


Diagnosed in 1999 with high risk HPV types of the vaginal cuff and the vulva. Two LEEP's and one excision.

What is cervix dysplasia and does sleeping around a lot cause it?

---

I'm wondering because a girl on law and order was said to have this and they concluded that she was promiscuous. I heard it was a growth of the cervix or something. What would there be a growth if you are sleeping around a lot?
This is a serious question. If a doctor is here please answer.
Cervical dyplasia is a change in the cells in the cervix The more cells that look abnormal, the more severe the case is. A severe case can become cervical cancer if it not treated.

No one really knows what causes cervical dysplasia. Sleeping around does *not* cause it, at least not by itself However, it is true that women who have multiple partners are at greater risk. Also, a very high percentage of women with cervical dysplasia also have HPV infections, which is the cause of genital warts. HPV is also related to multiple partners.

I hope this helps. See the Source for more info.  (+ info)

Has anyone out there had an esophagectomy because of high grade dysplasia and how is quality of life after it?

---

My friend is supposed to have an esophagectomy minimally invasive surgery. He has high grade dysplasia Barrett's esophagus with precancerous cells. Does anyone know what life after an esophagectomy is like? Does it drastically change your life style?
Yes, it does drastically change the quality of life.
Patients who have had the esophagus removed can no longer take food or liquid by mouth and even have to spit out saliva. They are stuck with a feeding tube placed through the stomach wall and accessed on the outside of the body.
I know I'd be miserable not being able to eat or drink (though I'd be able to enjoy stuff if I spit it out).
Most social situations surround food and drink. It can be very disheartening to go without the goodies everyone else can have.
What's worse? Having esophageal cancer.  (+ info)

will having sex make my cervical dysplasia develop into cancer faster?

---

About 2 weeks ago i was told that i have moderate cervical dysplasia. Me and my partner have still been having sex and today i noticed some unusual spotting and still am 4 hours later. I am on the pill and know that it is not my period. I'm worried that having sex is making things worse. Is this possible or is it ok to keep having sex?
it wont make it worse, but i had this same problem. its just the irritation on those cells that have become abnormal that cause the spotting. i had moderate and severe cells which i had removed by the LEEP procedure earlier this year, and once the healing was done i stopped spotting after sex. having sex itself wont make it develop quicker, its just the spreading of the bad cells and the irritation your cervix is enduring. i know spotting after sex should never be 'normal' but speaking from experience in this situation, its prone to happening. dont worry until your doctor gives you a reason to worry.  (+ info)

What if my cavity has reached me dentin?

---

I've been looking around and ive seen that the next layer of your tooth is the dentin.when i look at my cavities(my front teeth) they seem to have reached that area. Will i have to get a root canal, or i i make it to the dentist soon, will it just be a normal filling? im nervous because i dont want any root canal :(
You don't necessarily have to get a root canal so don't worry ;) If the cavity reaches the dentin, it just means it's deep...but the problem is how deep it is. If it's not that deep, u'll just get a regular filling..however, if it's very deep and there's a lot of caries..it may reach the pulp and u may get a root canal..i suggest u go to the dentist asap ;)

Good Luck!  (+ info)

How can you build strength and flexability in a leg with Dysplasia?

---

My right Hip has Oesteo Arthritis, severe.It has caused my knee to become damaged from compensating and the mucles to become displaced- is very painful. I am a dancer who is having a hard time - but I cannot give up the dance; no matter how much it hurts.
Ask your doctor if it's ok to do some gentle stretches such as those with yoga. Also, ask if they think that having a consultation with a physical therapist might be able to help as well with this as far as additional types of exercises to help your hip and leg.  (+ info)
