Cervical dyskaryosis is classified into three degrees of severity: mild dyskaryosis, moderate and severe. A further category is used to define cells that do not show significant nuclear abnormality, and may not be described as 'dyskaryotic.' This category is termed [epithelial] cellular "borderline changes".
Cervical cancer is a cancer arising from the cervix or in any layer of the wall of the cervix. [2] It is due to the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. [12] Early on, typically no symptoms are seen. [2]

The doctors eventually discovered abnormal cells that had to be removed along with "a lot" of her cervix, which felt like "my entire uterus had fallen onto the bathroom floor," she said. ...
Cervical cancer is screened either through an human papillomavirus (HPV) test, which looks for high-risk HPV, or Pap test, which looks for abnormal cells, both conducted the same way—by a ...
Rankins says cervical insufficiency happens when there's painless dilation, or opening, of the cervix, typically in the second trimester of pregnancy, or during weeks 13 through 28.
