Introduction
The biopsy result of HSIL is generally classified as CIN II-III, referring to cervical precancerous lesions of grade 2 to grade 3. HSIL stands for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, which is a finding from a cervical biopsy. In addition, HSIL typically occurs in women over middle age. During this period, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid unclean sexual practices.
HSIL biopsy results are generally classified as CIN II–III, typically indicating cervical precancerous lesions of grade 2 to grade 3.
HSIL refers to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion of the cervix, which is a finding from cervical biopsy. It usually corresponds to CIN II–III. Such results commonly appear in colposcopic biopsy reports. If an HSIL result is reported, the patient should undergo further conization (cone biopsy) to determine the exact pathological type.
If, after conization, extensive areas of CIN II–III are found and the patient has completed childbearing and is relatively older, total hysterectomy may be considered under physician guidance. Conversely, if the patient is younger and has not yet completed childbearing, conization may serve as the definitive treatment under medical supervision. However, after surgery, the patient should undergo follow-up examinations every six months, including TCT (thin-prep cytology test), HPV testing, and repeat colposcopic biopsy, to prevent malignant progression.
In addition, HSIL typically occurs in women over middle age. During this period, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid unclean sexual practices.
