Does Moderate Dyskaryosis Mean Cancer?

I had a smear test 1.5 years ago and all was ok. I had a recent smear test what shows moderate dyskaryosis. I have no other symptons (maybe since I know I feel a bit blooted and have lower back pain) but now I am very worried (I am 37 years old - height 1.74m and weitght 62kg). Could I have cancer?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Dyskaryosis is a condition about the abnormal appearance of cells. If your smear shows that there is moderate dyskryosis then the cells in the region show suspected abnormal appearance. This does not definitively mean it is a cancer. Sometimes cells can appear this way and might also indicate a precancerous state. It will help if you can go for a cervical biopsy and this will involve study of more cells and from a the cervix. Please do not worried but consult your gynecologist for a biopsy to be scheduled in the next few days. Please do not worry.
