CIN 2

CIN 2, or Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia grade 2, is a medical term for moderate abnormal cell changes on the surface of the cervix, often caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). These changes are not cancer but indicate a higher risk of developing cervical cancer if left untreated. CIN 2 is typically identified through a Pap smear or biopsy, and treatment may involve procedures like removing or destroying abnormal tissue to prevent progression. Regular follow-up is important to monitor healing and ensure changes do not worsen.
