Introduction
Whether cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN 1) regresses spontaneously depends on disease progression and the presence or absence of related symptoms. If the condition does not progress and there are currently no symptoms, normal immune function, and no persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, spontaneous regression may occur. However, if the condition progresses, is accompanied by persistent HPV infection, and causes noticeable symptoms, spontaneous regression is unlikely.
Generally speaking, CIN1 refers to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1. Whether cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 can regress spontaneously mainly depends on the progression of the condition and the presence or absence of symptoms. If the condition does not progress and there are no symptoms, spontaneous regression is possible. However, if the condition progresses and symptoms are evident, it will not regress on its own. Those with severe symptoms should seek medical attention. The detailed explanation is as follows:
For patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 whose condition shows no progression during follow-up examinations and who experience no discomfort and can maintain normal daily activities, spontaneous regression within months to several years is possible, especially if immune function is normal and there is no persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. However, regular observation and follow-up visits are still necessary to monitor recovery.
However, if cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 is relatively severe, and progression is detected during examination along with persistent HPV infection, and the patient experiences symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, pelvic pressure, or vaginal odor, spontaneous regression is unlikely. In such cases, timely surgical treatment under a doctor's guidance is required, such as a cervical conization procedure, which directly removes the affected tissue through surgery.
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 may carry a risk of progression in severe cases. Therefore, it is important to promptly choose an appropriate treatment and care plan based on individual circumstances. Additionally, maintaining a positive mindset and avoiding excessive fear of the disease are essential.
