Dysplasia - a violation of cellular differentiation, whereby the epithelial structure is violated, there is a polymorphism of cells, increasing the rate of cell division. Cervix - is the lower part of the uterus that connects the vagina with her body. Cervical dysplasia, vaginal and vulva is common diseases that often occur simultaneously. Dysplasia - a violation of cellular differentiation, whereby the epithelial structure is violated, there is a polymorphism of cells, increasing the rate of cell division.
