Each year, over 40,000 women are found to have CIN 2 or CIN 3. Almost all of them are successfully treated. However, over 3,000 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed each year in the UK and 11,000 in the USA. Younger women are more likely to have CIN 3 than older women. The risk is low during the teens but is highest during the ages of 20 to 29, slowly decreasing thereafter.
To check for CIN, a doctor or nurse will take a smear from the surface of the cervix. A small wooden or plastic spatula is inserted into the vagina and painlessly scraped over the cervix. A number of cell from the cervix stick to the spatula. These are examined under the microscope for any abnormalities. Women found to have CIN2 or CIN 3 can be treated to prevent them getting cervical cancer.
All women over the age of 20 should have a cervical screen at least every five years.
Cervical screening started in 1964 and the effects have been quite clear. The death rate from this cancer has fallen by two thirds since then. It has been estimated that, over a 10-year period, cervical screening has saved the lives of 8,000 women in the UK.
10 of the 30 HPV strains can lead to cervical cancer. And you don't have to have sexual intercourse to contract this virus. It is transmitted by any genital contact with another individual who is a carrier or infected. A vaccination shot sounds better than cryosurgery.
