The correct answer would be the second option. The abnormal development or growth of the cells that make up the inner lining of the cervix is known as cervical dysplasia. It is a pre-cancerous condition that involves an abnormal growth of cells in the lining of the endocervical canal which is the opening between the vagina and the uterus. A very common cause of developing this is the virus HPV or the human papillomavirus. It can be transmitted sexually and has many strains. This condition can still be cured when it is detected early. Without treating it, cervical dysplasia would develop to cancer.<span />
